Table 6.2-2: Application criteria for frequently used teleprotection schemes
Permissive underreach
transfer trip (PUTT)
Permissive overreach
transfer trip (POTT)
Blocking Unblocking
Preferred
application
Signal
transmission
system
Dependable and secure communication channel:
Power line carrier wilh lrequency shill modulalion.
HF signal coupled to 2 phases of the protected line, or
even better, to a parallel circuit to avoid transmission
of the HF signal through the fault location.
Microwave radio, especially digilal (PCM)
Oplical-lber cables
Reliable communication
channel (only required
during external faults)
Power line carrier wilh
amplitude modulation
(ON / OFF). The same
frequency may be used
on all terminals)
Dedicated channel with
continuous signal transfer
Power line carrier wilh
frequency shift keying.
Continuous signal
transmission must be
permitted.
Characteristic
of line
Best suited for longer lines
where the underreach
zone provides sufcient
resistance coverage
Lxcellenl coverage on
short lines in the
presence of fault
resistance.
Suilable lor lhe
protection of multi-
terminal lines with
intermediate infeed
All line types preferred
practice in the US
Same as POTT
Advantages Simple lechnique
No coordinalion ol zones
and times with the
opposite end required.
The combination of
different relay types
therefore presents no
problems
Can be applied wilhoul
underreaching zone 1
stage (e.g.,
overcompensated series
uncompensated lines)
Can be applied on
extremely reshort lines
(impedance less than
minimum relay setting)
8eller lor parallel lines as
mutual coupling is not
critical for the overreach
zone
Weak inleed lerminals
are no problem (Echo
and Weak Infeed logic is
included)
Same as POTT Same as POTT but:
ll no signal is received
(no block and no
uncompensated block)
then tripping by the
overreach zone is
released after 20 ms
Drawbacks Overlapping ol lhe
zone 1 reaches must be
ensured. On parallel
lines, teed feeders and
tapped lines, the
inuence of zero
sequence coupling and
intermediate infeeds
must be carefully
considered to make sure
a minimum overlapping
of the zone 1 reach is
always present.
Nol suilable lor weak
infeed terminals
Zone reach and signal
timing coordination with
the remote end is
necessary (current
reversal)
Same as POTT
Slow lripping - all
teleprotection trips must
be delayed to wait for the
eventual blocking signal
Conlinuous channel
monitoring is not
possible
Same as POTT
