Auto-recloser is normally not duplicated due to speed problems with two units and
due to the minor consequence a failure to auto-reclose will mean. A number of
signals will be required between the sub-systems to give auto-reclose also when only the protection in the other sub-system operates. - Start of Breaker failure protection Similar to Auto-recloser the Breaker failure function (BFR) is not duplicated in redundant systems. The reason for this is however completely different. The Breaker failure function has extremely high requirements on the security against unnecessary trippings and duplication will mean an increased dependability but the security will decrease. As the risk of breaker failure statistically is very low the security aspect is most important and the BFR function is only provided in one of the systems, normally in the primary protection system. The exchange of information between the systems should be handled with outermost care to prevent problems e. g. when maintenance is done in one of the systems. Interface relays should be put inside or on front on a preferable separate labelled area in one of the panels only. The terminals should also be clearly indicated inside the panel in order to simplify the finding and opening of the correct terminals when the sub-systems are to be separated. Interface relays should be separately mounted and preferably in sub 2 panel. This will limit the distribution of the sub 2 DC supply as mentioned above
