Setting guidelines

The parameters for automatic switch onto fault logic, voltage- and current-based function
ZCVPSOF are set via the local HMI or Protection and Control Manager PCM600.
The distance protection zone used for instantaneous trip by ZCVPSOF has to be set to cover
the entire protected line with a safety margin of minimum 20%.

GlobalBaseSel is used to select GBASVAL for reference of base values.
Operation : The operation of ZCVPSOF is by default set to On . The parameter must be set to
Off if ZCVPSOF is not to be used.
IPh< is used to set the current level for the detection of a dead line. IPh< is, by default, set to
20% of
load current. In many cases, the minimum load current of a line is close to zero and even can be
zero. The operating value must exceed the maximum charging current of an overhead line
when only one phase is disconnected (mutual coupling in the other phases).
UPh< is used to set the voltage level for the detection of a dead line. UPh< is, by default, set to
70% of

AutoInitMode : automatic activating of ZCVPSOF is, by default, set to DLD disabled , which
means the dead-line logic detection is disabled. If an automatic activation of the dead-line
detection is required, the parameter

When AutoInitMode is set to Voltage , the dead-line detection logic checks that the three-phase
voltages are lower than the set
When AutoInitMode is set to Current , the dead-line detection logic checks if the three-phase
currents are lower than the set

Otherwise, the logic is activated by an external BC input.
tSOTF : the drop delay of ZCVPSOF is, by default, set to 1.0 seconds, which is suitable for most
applications.
tDLD : The time delay for activating ZCVPSOF by the internal dead-line detection is, by default,
set to 0.2 seconds. It is suitable in most applications. The delay shall not be set too short to
avoid unwanted activations during transients in the system.
Mode : The operation of ZCVPSOF has three modes for defining the criteria for tripping. The
