with the D90 .
The direct underreaching transfer trip (DUTT) scheme uses an under-reaching zone 1
distance element to key a transfer trip signal to the remote end or ends, where on receipt,
the DUTT pilot scheme operates without any additional supervision.
For proper operation of the scheme, the zone 1 phase and ground distance elements must
be enabled, configured and set per the standard rules of distance relaying.
The DUTT scheme generates an output operand
to the remote end. Choices of communications channel include remote inputs and outputs
and telecommunications interfaces. When used with telecommunications facilities, the
output operand should be assigned to operate an output contact connected to key the
transmitter at the interface.
Note that the same protection signaling may be used by a breaker failure scheme, in which
case the signal can be sealed in by breaker failure for a time longer than the autoreclose
"reclaim" time which then prevents autoreclose when not required.
A provision for an optional seal-in of the send signal is made to cover those situations
where PLC (power line carrier) signaling is used and the signal must be transmitted in a
potentially noisy situation due to the fault.
The scheme output operand

D90 functions (output contacts in particular) to make the scheme fully operational.
Typically, the output operand should be programmed to initiate a trip, breaker fail, and
autoreclose, and drive a user-programmable LED as per user requirements.
The permissive underreaching transfer trip (PUTT) scheme uses an underreaching zone 1
distance element to key a transfer trip signal to the remote end where it is supervised by
the overreaching zone 2 distance elements.
