1.2 Energizing check

Synchronism and energizing
check for double circuit breakers
and voltage selection
The energizing check is made when a disconnected line is to be connected
to an energized section of a network, see Fig. 3. The check can also be set
to allow energization in the busbar or in both directions.

UHigh>70-100%Ur
ULow<10-80%Ur
Fig. 3 Principle for energizing check
The voltage level considered to be a non-energized bus or line is set on the
MMI. An energizing can occur — depending on the set direction of the
energizing function. There are separate settable limits for energized (live)
condition, UHigh, and non-energized (dead) ULow conditions. The
equipment is considered energized if the voltage is above the set value
UHigh (e.g. 80% of rated voltage), and non-energized if it is below the set
value, ULow (e.g. 30% of the rated voltage) You can set the UHigh condi-
tion between 70-100% U
U /sqr3.

A disconnected line can have a considerable potential due to, for instance,
induction from a line running in parallel, or by being fed via the extin-
guishing capacitors in the circuit breakers. This voltage can be as high as
30% or more of the rated voltage of the line.
The energizing operation can be set to operate in either direction over the
circuit breaker, or it can be permitted to operate in both directions. Use the
AutoEnerg and ManEnerg MMI setting to select the energizing operation
in:
• Both directions (Both)
• Dead line live bus (DLLB)
• Dead bus live line (DBLL)
The voltage check can also be set Off. A closing impulse is issued to the
circuit breaker if one of the U-line or U-bus voltages is High and the other
is Low, that is, when only one side is energized. You can set AutoEnerg
and ManEnerg to enable different conditions during automatic and ma-
nual closing of the circuit breaker.
