In such case two separate zones can be maintained only while bus coupler breaker is open. As
soon as bus coupler breaker is going to be closed the zone interconnection feature must be
activated and complete busbars will be automatically protected with just one overall differential
zone.
Since there are no current transformer in the bus coupler bay, there is no need to allocate internal
bay function block for the bus coupler bay. However some additional configuration logic is
required to obtain automatic zone interconnection activation when bus coupler breaker shall be
closed. Example of such logic, as shown in figure 47.
