2 Functions
During three phase faults the fault detection of all three phase-phase loops usually
occurs. In this case the three phase-phase loops are evaluated. If earth fault detection
also occurs, the phase-earth loops are also evaluated.
Double Earth Faults
In isolated or resonant-earthed networks a single earth fault does not result in a short
in Non-earthed
circuit current flow. There is only a displacement of the voltage triangle (Figure 2-37).
Systems
For the system operation this state is no immediate danger. The distance protection
must not pick up in this case even though the voltage of the phase with the earth fault
is equal to zero in the whole galvanically connected system. Any load currents will
result in an impedance value that is equal to zero. Therefore a single-phase pickup
phase-earth without earth current pickup is avoided in the 7SD5.
Figure 2-37
With the occurrence of earth faults — especially in large resonant-earthed systems —
large fault inception transient currents can appear that may evoke the earth current
pickup. In case of an overcurrent pickup there may also be a phase current pickup.
7SD5 provides special measures against such undesirable pickups.
With the occurrence of a double earth fault in isolated or resonant-earthed systems it
is sufficient to switch off one of the faults. The second fault may remain in the system
as a simple earth fault. Which of the faults is switched off depends on the double earth
fault preference which is set the same in the whole galvanically-connected system.
With 7SD5 the following double earth fault preferences (Parameter 1520 PHASE
PREF.2phe) can be selected:
