Functionality

About 80 to 85 percent of faults in the MV overhead lines are transient and automatically

cleared with a momentary de-energization of the line. The rest of the faults, 15 to 20

percent, can be cleared by longer interruptions. The de-energization of the fault location

for a selected time period is implemented through automatic reclosing, during which most

of the faults can be cleared.

In case of a permanent fault, the automatic reclosing is followed by final tripping. A

permanent fault must be located and cleared before the fault location can be re-energized.

The autoreclosing function 79 can be used with any circuit breaker suitable for

autoreclosing. The function provides five programmable autoreclosing shots which can

perform one to five successive autoreclosings of desired type and duration, for instance

one high-speed and one delayed autoreclosing.

When the reclosing is initiated with pickup of the protection function, the autoreclosing

function can execute the final trip of the circuit breaker in a short trip time, provided that

the fault still persists when the last selected reclosing has been carried out.

Protection signal definition

The Control line setting defines which of the initiation signals are protection pickup and

trip signals and which are not. With this setting, the user can distinguish the blocking

signals from the protection signals. The Control line setting is a bit mask, that is, the lowest

bit controls the INIT_1 line and the highest bit the INIT_6 line. Some example

combinations of the Control line setting are as follows:
