380 kV OHL

blocking of the distance protection during power swings. At 380 kV it is common

practice to Enable the power swing detection.

121 Teleprotection for Distance Prot.: To achieve fast tripping for all faults on the circuit
a teleprotection scheme must be applied.

122 DTT Direct Transfer Trip: If external inputs, also CFC, must be connected to initiate
tripping via binary input, this function should be activated. The trip will then
automatically be accompanied by the minimum trip command duration (trip circuit
