Figure 354: Data exchange between interlocking modules
When invalid data such as intermediate position, loss of a control IED, or input board
error are used as conditions for the interlocking condition in a bay, a release for
execution of the function will not be given.
On the local HMI an override function exists, which can be used to bypass the
interlocking function in cases where not all the data required for the condition is valid.
For all interlocking modules these general rules apply:
• The interlocking conditions for opening or closing of disconnectors and grounding
switches are always identical.
• Grounding switches on the line feeder end, for example, rapid grounding switches,
are normally interlocked only with reference to the conditions in the bay where
they are located, not with reference to switches on the other side of the line. So a
line voltage indication may be included into line interlocking modules. If there is
no line voltage supervision within the bay, then the appropriate inputs must be set
to no voltage, and the operator must consider this when operating.
• Grounding switches can only be operated on isolated sections for example,
without load/voltage. Circuit breaker contacts cannot be used to isolate a section,
that is, the status of the circuit breaker is irrelevant as far as the grounding switch
operation is concerned.
• Disconnectors cannot break power current or connect different voltage systems.
Disconnectors in series with a circuit breaker can only be operated if the circuit
breaker is open, or if the disconnectors operate in parallel with other closed
connections. Other disconnectors can be operated if one side is completely
