As is shown by the example, the adaptive dead time has the following advantages:
• The circuit breaker at position II is not reclosed at all if the fault persists and is not

CLOSE-Command With close command transmission, the dead times are only set at one line end. The
Transmission other (or the others in lines with more than two ends) are set to „Adaptive Dead Time
(Remote-CLOSE) (ADT)". The latter only react to the received close commands from the transmitting
end. An adaptive dead time is thus possible even without a voltage.
At the sending line end, the trasmission of the close command is delayed until it is sure
that the local reclosure was successful. This means that after reclosure still a possible
local pickup is waited for. This delay prevents unnecessary closing at the remote end
on the one hand but also increases the time until reclosure takes place there. This is
not critical for a single-pole interruption or in radial or meshed networks if no stability
problems are expected under these conditions.
The existing protection data interfaces are used to transmit the close command.
