CHAPTER 5: SETTINGS
— This setting represents the directional comparison unblocking duration time delay. It is the
DCUB LOG PICKUP DELAY
amount of time that the loss-of-guard without receipt of permissive trip must be present before the logic provides
permission to operate if a forward fault is detected. It is set relatively short, but long enough to ride through the transition
period of loss-of-guard with the receipt of a permissive signal that occurs with a normal trip. Typical setting values are
from 4 to 32 ms. For most cases, a value of 8 ms can be used.
The tripping or unblocking window for loss-of-guard without permission is the difference between the
and
WINDOW DCUB LOG PICKUP DELAY
after loss-of-guard was received, when the
has permission to operate if a forward fault is sensed, and no reverse faults or transient blocking.
— This setting represents the guard healthy security time delay. It is the time after the channel
GUARD HEALTHY RESET DELAY
is restored that the guard signal must be present before the directional comparison unblocking scheme is put back in
service. This reset timer allows the scheme to ride through any chattering in the channel. Typical values are from 100 to
500 ms, with a value of 150 ms commonly used.
— This setting represents the directional comparison unblocking lockout time delay. It is the
DCUB LOG TRIP WINDOW
amount of time from when any loss-of-guard signal is received until the directional comparison unblocking scheme is
locked out without the presence of any
expires, creating a blocking signal for all scheme functions and disabling the scheme until the guard signal is restored and
the
GUARD HEALTHY RESET DELAY
setting of about 150 ms can be used.

unblocking scheme logic. The
operand runs the trip table of the directional comparison unblocking scheme, the
trip operands are sealed-in for the same period of time.
DCUB TRIP 3P
— This setting specifies the number of bits available on the communications channel for the
DCUB NO OF COMM BITS
scheme. With only one bit available, the scheme sends the direct under-reaching transfer trip command on bit 1
operand) and responds to the direct trip command received on bit 1 (
type identification provided by the phase selector to assert the
output operands.

receive signals for the scheme. Contact inputs interfacing with a signaling system(s) are typically used. These settings must
be used in conjunction with the loss-of-guard signals, otherwise the scheme does not unblock and thus fails to operate.
