Protection Application Example

380 kV OHL

must be set below the calculated coordination time step (0.25 sec) and longer
than the slowest operation with teleprotection (60 ms). A time of 0.20 sec is
applied.

3456 Dead time after 1pole trip: The dead time must allow for the arc gases to
dissipate. During single pole trip this time is longer because the arc is still
supplied by capacitive coupled current from the healthy phases after the
circuit breaker is open single pole. In practice a time of 1.00 sec has proven
to provide good results.

3457 Dead time after 3pole trip: The dead time must allow for the arc gases to
dissipate. During three pole trip this time is short. In practice a time of 0.50
sec has proven to provide good results.

3458 Dead time after evolving fault: As set in 3407 and 3408 above, a three pole
dead time will be started in the case of evolving fault. Here the same time as
in 3457 can be used because this time is started with the three pole trip
issued due to the fault evolving from single to three phase. Therefore set
0.50 sec.

3459 CB ready interrogation before reclosing: As stated above, the CB status will
be checked before issue of close command, therefore set YES.

3460 Request for synchro-check after 3pole AR: The sync check condition must be
checked before issue of close command, therefore set YES.

19.3. 3pTRIP / Dead Line Charge / Reduced Dead Time

Figure 58: 3p Trip/DLC/RDT settings, Automatic Reclosure

3430 3pole TRIP by AR: If the AR function is initiated by single pole trip signals, it
may in the course of a single pole AR cycle detect that the conditions for
single pole reclosure are no longer valid (e.g. because of further single pole
trip during the dead time or auxiliary contact status from the breaker
indicating multiple pole open etc.). In such an event the AR function may
issue a three pole trip before proceeding with a three pole AR cycle or setting
the final trip condition. This setting determines is the AR function will issue
such a three pole trip. In this application no external initiate signals are
applied so this setting is set to NO because the internal protection functions
can manage their own three pole coupling of the trip signal when required.
