Student ID: EP078782 Lecturer: Prof. Madya Dr. Izham Bin Zainal Abidin How It Works? • To increase the security on direct transfer trip (DTT) • Directional relay act as fault detector • Permissive interlock to prevent inadvertent trip • Provide tripping function. A trip signal is tuned to different frequencies and only respond to remote transmitter’s signal • Referring to figure, overreaching relay 21-10 & 21-20 will send tripping signal to remote end • Overreaching relay will operate due to internal fault • If local overreaching relay operates & tripping signal received, a trip will be initiated • It will caused 85-1 G2 to drop out ant 85-1 T2 to pick up Advantages • More Commonly used • Less expensive • Overreaching relay only has to see in front of it compared to blocking scheme • Do not have to coordinate with blocking relay from adjacent line Disadvantages • Not only local relay operate on local circuit breaker • The setting is more difficult compared to directional comparison blocking Refferences • S.H Horowitz and A.G.
