CHAPTER 5: SETTINGS
Set this delay long enough to cope with transient conditions including not only current reversals but also spurious negative
and zero-sequence currents occurring during breaker operations (in the case when neutral directional overcurrent or
negative-sequence directional overcurrent functions are used). Consider the breaker failure time of the surrounding
protection systems within the reach of the ground directional function used by the hybrid POTT scheme, to make sure that
the ground directional function is not jeopardized during delayed breaker operations.
— This setting defines the guaranteed and exact duration of the echo pulse. The duration is not dependent

on the duration and shape of received RX signals. This setting enables the relay to avoid a permanent lock-up of the
transmit/receive loop.
— This setting defines the lockout period for the echo logic after sending the echo pulse. This enables the
ECHO LOCKOUT
relay to avoid oscillations of the echo pulses during an autoreclosure dead-time after clearing an internal fault.

— This setting defines the FlexLogic operand (if any) of a protection element that is used in addition to

of the scheme (both through the transient blocking logic). Good directional integrity is the key requirement for an over-

Even though any FlexLogic operand could be used as
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. Both these
elements have separate forward (FWD) and reverse (REV) output operands. The forward indication should be used (
