D90 LINE DISTANCE PROTECTION SYSTEM – INSTRUCTION MANUAL
Ground Directional OC Forward
Range: any FlexLogic™ operand
Default: OFF
This setting selects the FlexLogic™ operand (if any) of a protection element used in
addition to zone 2 for identifying faults on the protected line, and thus, for keying the
communication channels and initiating operation of the scheme (both through the
transient blocking logic).
Good directional integrity is the key requirement for an over-reaching forward-looking
protection element selected with this setting. Even though any operand can be selected
for this feature, thereby enabling the user to combine responses of various protection
elements or to apply extra conditions through FlexLogic™ equations, this extra signal is
primarily meant to be the output operand from either the negative-sequence directional
or neutral directional overcurrent elements. As both these elements have separate
forward and reverse output operands, the forward indication should be used (that is,
or

The selected protection element (or elements in combination) should be coordinated
with this setting. For all forward external faults seen by an element set by the

Ground Directional OC Reverse
Range: any FlexLogic™ operand
Default: OFF
This setting selects the FlexLogic™ operand (if any) of a protection element used in
addition to zone 4 for identifying reverse faults, and thus, for stopping the transmit
signal and initiating the transient blocking timer.
Good directional integrity is the key requirement for a reverse-looking protection

Transient Block Pickup Delay
Range: 0.000 to 65.535 seconds in steps of 0.001
Default: 0.020 seconds
This setting specifies a transient blocking mechanism embedded in the directional
comparison unblocking scheme for coping with the exposure of both the over-reaching
zone 2 and ground directional overcurrent function to current reversal conditions.
The transient blocking logic applies to both operate (trip) and send (transmit) paths.
Identifying the fault as a reverse fault prevents the scheme from both operating and
keying the channel. If the reverse fault condition prevails for the time specified by this
setting, the blocking operation will be extended by the transient blocking time specified
by the
