this setting is made as low as possible at the same time as any unwanted operation
is avoided. A typical setting is 90 - 150 ms, which is also dependent on the retrip
timer.
The minimum time delay for the CB failure delay can be estimated as:

It is often required that the total fault clearance time is less than the given critical
time. This time often depends on the ability to maintain transient stability in case of
a fault close to a power plant.

Timer 3
This module is activated by the CB_FAULT signal. Once activated, the timer runs
until the set
DT. When the operation timer has reached the maximum time value
the CB_FAULT_AL output is activated. After the set time, an alarm is given so that
the circuit breaker can be repaired. A typical value is 5 s.
Retrip logic
Timer 1 activates Retrip logic, which can be used to give a retrip signal TRRET for
the main circuit breaker. The operation of Retrip logic depends on the settings
failure mode and CB fail retrip mode as shown in
