1130A Pole Open Current Threshold: For a number of functions in the relay the
switching state of the circuit breaker is an important logical information input.
This can be derived via auxiliary contacts or by measuring the current flow in
the circuit. With this parameter the current threshold is set to determine the
pole open condition of the circuit breaker. If the phase current measured by
the relay is below this threshold this condition for pole open detection is true.

This setting should be as sensitive as possible (setting equal to or lower than

the smallest current pick-up threshold of a protection function). Stray induced
currents during a true open pole condition may however not cause incorrect
pick-up.

In this example no special conditions have to be considered, so the default

setting of 0.10 A is maintained.

1131A Pole Open Voltage Threshold: As was described for the pole open current
above (1130), the pole open voltage setting determines the threshold below
which the voltage condition for pole open is true.

As single pole tripping will be applied here and the voltage transformers are
located on the line side of the circuit breaker, the setting should be large
enough to ensure that the voltage induced on the open phase is below this
setting. Apply a setting that is at least 20% below the minimum operating
phase to earth voltage.
