Protection Functions
Circuit Breaker Position Supervision
In order to prevent that incorrect status of CB position is input into the device via binary input, the
appropriate monitor method is used to check the rationality of the binary input. When the binary input of
CB open position is detected, the status of CB position will be thought as incorrect and an alarm
[Alm_52b] will be issued if there is current detected in the line.
Together with the status of circuit breaker and the information of external circuit, this function can be
used to supervise control circuit of circuit breaker.
Fault Detector (FD)
Fault detector is responsible to determine the fault appearance on the protected power system. The
device will switch to protection calculation after the fault detector picks up, for example the calculation of
distance protection, and to determine the operating logic. If the fault is within the protected zone, the
device will issue tripping command. The fault detector continuously detects the change of
phase-to-phase power frequency current and the calculated zero-sequence and negative-sequence
currents. The fault detector includes:
1. Fault detector based on DPFC current: DPFC current is greater than the setting value
2. Fault detector based on residual current: Zero-sequence current is greater than the setting value
3. Fault detector based on negative-sequence current: Negative-sequence current is greater than the
setting value
Optical Pilot Channel (FO)
The devices can transmit Boolean quantities such as blocking signal, permissive signal and transfer trip
signal to the remote end via optical fibre channel. Up to 2 optical fibre channels are supported, which can
be dedicated optical fibre channel or multiplex channel, the channel mode could be selected as
single-mode or multi-mode. The communication rate can be 64kbits/s or 2048kbits/s, and G.703 or
C37.94 are optional for communication protocol. 8 digital bits are integrated in each frame of
transmission message for various applications, and 8 binary signals are configurable. Each received
message frame via fibre optical channel will pass through security check to ensure the integrity of the
message consistently.
Pilot Distance Protection (85)
Pilot distance protection requires communication channel to exchange protection information at both
ends. The channel may be dedicated or multiplexed channel through optical fiber or any other
communication media. Pilot distance protection has schemes of permissive underreaching transfer trip
(PUTT), permissive overreaching transfer trip (POTT) and blocking. The device provides dual pilot

distance protections. The communication media and mode can be independent each other.
Pilot distance protection determines whether it will send the signal to the remote end according to the
discrimination result of the distance element or direction element. Pilot distance protection can be
divided into permissive scheme and blocking scheme according to whether the signal sent is used to
permit tripping or block tripping. For permissive scheme, it can be divided into overreaching mode or
underreaching mode according to the setting of distance element and scheme selected, furthermore, it
will provide the unblocking scheme as auxiliary function. For overreaching mode, current reversal logic
and weak infeed logic are available for parallel line operation and weak power source situation
respectively.
Pilot Directional Earth-fault Protection (85)
Pilot directional earth-fault protection can be used independently, for example, no distance protection is
equipped with the device but fast operation is required for the whole line, or it is used as backup
protection of pilot distance protection to enhance the sensitivity for an earth fault with high fault
resistance.
Pilot directional earth-fault protection comprises permissive scheme and blocking scheme. It can share
pilot channel 1 with pilot distance protection, or uses independent pilot channel 2. For underreach mode,
pilot directional earth-fault always adopts independent pilot channel 2. Sending permissive signal (or
terminating sending signal) to the opposite end is controlled by forward direction element. Current
reversal logic is available for parallel line operation and CB echo logic is provided once pilot directional
earth fault protection is enabled. Current reversal logic is only used for permissive scheme. For blocking
scheme, current reversal need not be considered because there is a settable time delay in pilot
directional earth-fault protection.
Distance Protection (21L)
Distance protection includes three independent phase-to-phase measuring loops as well as three
independent phase-to-ground measuring loops. Both mho and quadrilateral characteristics are available
for different application. In addition, load encroachment, power swing blocking and releasing, and faulty
phase selection functions are also provided.
Up to 8 zones distance protection are supplied, including 1 zone distance protection with fixed forward
direction, 5 zones distance protection with settable direction, 1 zone pilot distance protection with fixed
forward direction and 1 zone pilot distance protection with fixed reverse direction. Each zone includes
three independent phase-to-phase measuring loops as well as three independent phase-to-ground
measuring loops. Phase-to-ground distance element should be compensated by zero-sequence current
of local line. Zone 2~6 can select forward direction, reverse direction and non-direction.
Load encroachment can distinguish effectively between heavily loaded line and faulty line, and the risk of
encroachment of the load impedance into the tripping characteristics of the distance protection can be
excluded.
Power swing blocking and releasing can prevent distance protection from undesired operation during
power swing, even if measured impedance reaches into operation area of distance protection. Moreover,

distance protection can operate reliably when a fault occurs during power swing.
Based on distance protection characteristics, faulty phase can be identified correctly. It is beneficial for
the faulty phase selection which is important to the line which uses phase-segregated circuit breaker and
provides valid information for 1-pole AR and fault location.
DPFC Distance Protection (21D)
As an independent fast protection, DPFC distance protection is mainly used to clear close up fault of
long line quickly, its protected range can set as 60%~70% of the whole line. Since DPFC distance
protection only reflects the fault component and is not influenced by current change due to load variation
and power swing, power swing blocking (PSB) function is not required. Moreover, there is no transient
overreaching due to infeed current from the remote power supply because it is not influenced by load
current.
Out-of-Step Protection (78)
For the power grid of loss synchronous, the voltage of each node in the tie line that synchronous or
asynchronous oscillation happens to will oscillate periodically, and where the voltage oscillation is the
most violent in each tie line is the center of synchronous or asynchronous oscillation. In general, the
voltage oscillation is more violent more close to the oscillation center. Out-of-step center is the point
where the lowest voltage appears in the tie line of asynchronous oscillation in the process of out-of-step
oscillation, i.e., the oscillation center of the tie line of asynchronous oscillation. The phase angle of bus
voltage difference on either side of out-of-step center will change within 0°~180°~360° periodically.
Therefore, the oscillation center voltage can be used to discriminate among out-of-step oscillation,
short-circuit fault and synchronous oscillation.
Considering the selectivity, the separation should be performed within 2~3 out-of-step period or the
corresponding time delay after the system is out of step, otherwise the out-of-step oscillation among
multiple generators may is developed, further expanding the accident, so as to cause system separation
even collapse accident. So when the out-of-step operation time or oscillation times is greater than
specified value, out-of-step protection should operate to separate.
Distance SOTF Protection (21SOTF)
Distance SOTF (switch onto fault) protection shares pickup signal as initiation condition with distance
protection. It is selectable among zone 2, 3 or 4 of distance protection which is accelerated to trip by
manual closing or auto-reclosing, and they can enable or disable be controlled by power swing blocking.
Distance SOTF protection equips with independent time delay. Zone 2 of distance protection is fixedly
accelerated to trip by 1-pole AR. Zone 2 of distance protection is also accelerated to trip by pole
discrepancy condition. For single-phase fault, distance SOTF protection will accelerate to operate if
another fault happens to the healthy phase before auto-reclosing.
Phase Overcurrent Protection (50/51P)
The device can provide six stages of phase overcurrent protection with independent logic. Each stage

can be independently set as definite-time characteristics or inverse-time characteristics. The dropout
characteristics can be set as instantaneous dropout, definite-time dropout or inverse-time dropout. It can
be chosen whether it is blocked by voltage control element or harmonic control element. The direction
control element can be set as no direction, forward direction and reverse direction. Phase overcurrent
protection picks up when the current exceeds the setting, and operates after a certain time delay. Once
the fault disappears, phase overcurrent protection will dropout. Phase overcurrent protection can
operate to trip or alarm.
Phase Current SOTF Protection (50PSOTF)
Phase current SOTF protection will operate to trip three-phase circuit breaker with a time delay when
manual closing or auto-reclosing. For in-line transformer application, large inrush current generated
during manual closing and auto-reclosing will lead to an undesired operation of phase current SOTF
protection. Second harmonic blocking can be selected to prevent maloperation due to inrush current.
Earth Fault Protection (50/51G)
The device can provide six stages of earth fault protection with independent logic. Each stage can be
independently set as definite-time characteristics or inverse-time characteristics. It can be chosen
whether it is blocked by harmonic control element. The direction control element can be set as no
direction, forward direction and reverse direction. The zero-sequence current used by earth fault
protection always adopts calculated zero-sequence current. Earth fault protection can operate to trip or
alarm.
Residual Current SOTF Protection (50GSOTF)
Residual current SOTF protection will operate to trip three-phase circuit breaker with a time delay via
1-pole auto-reclosing, manual closing or 3-pole auto-reclosing. For in-line transformer application, large
inrush current generated during manual closing and auto-reclosing will lead to an undesired operation of
residual current SOTF protection. Second harmonic blocking can be selected to prevent maloperation
due to inrush current.
Negative-sequence Overcurrent Protection (50/51Q)
The device can provide two stages of negative-sequence overcurrent protection with independent logic.
Each stage can be independently set as definite-time characteristics or inverse-time characteristics. For
parallel lines or a ring network line, the flow direction of negative-sequence current may be different.
Considering the selectivity of negative-sequence overcurrent protection, the direction control element
can be set as no direction, forward direction and reverse direction. Negative-sequence overcurrent
protection can operate to trip or alarm.
Phase Overvoltage Protection (59P)
The device can provide two stages of phase overvoltage protection with independent logic. When a high

voltage occurs in the system, phase overvoltage protection will operate to isolate the fault from the
system after a time delay if the voltage is greater than the setting. In addition, phase overvoltage
protection also provides the alarm function to notify that there is the overvoltage in the system and find
the cause timely to prevent from further deterioration of the fault.
Each stage of phase overvoltage protection can be independently set as definite-time characteristics or
inverse-time characteristics. The dropout characteristics can be set as instantaneous dropout and
definite-time dropout.
Phase voltage or phase-to-phase voltage can be selected to be used by the protection calculation.
“1-out-of-3” or “3-out-of-3” logic can be selected for the protection criterion. (1-out-of-3 means any of
three phase voltages, 3-out-of-3 means all three phase voltages).
Residual Overvoltage Protection (59G)
The device can provide two stages of residual overvoltage protection with independent logic. When the
residual voltage is greater than the setting, residual overvoltage protection will operate to isolate the fault
from the system after a time delay. In addition, residual overvoltage protection also provides the alarm
function to notify that there is an earth fault leading to residual voltage generation, and find the cause
timely to prevent from further deterioration of the fault. Residual overvoltage protection supports
definite-time characteristics. The dropout characteristics can be set as instantaneous dropout and
Negative-sequence Overvoltage Protection (59Q)
The device provides two stages of negative-sequence overvoltage protection. If negative-sequence

voltage is greater than the setting, negative-sequence overvoltage protection will operate.
Negative-sequence overvoltage protection is with independent definite-time characteristics and
definite-time or instantaneous dropout characteristics.
Phase Undervoltage Protection (27P)
The device can provide two stages of phase undervoltage protection with independent logic. When the
voltage drops in the system and it is lower than the setting, phase undervoltage protection will operate to
isolate the fault from the system after a time delay. In addition, phase undervoltage protection also
provides the alarm function to notify that there is the undervoltage in the system and find the cause
timely to prevent from further deterioration of the fault.
Each stage of phase undervoltage protection can be independently set as definite-time characteristics or
inverse-time characteristics. The dropout characteristics can be set as instantaneous dropout and
Phase voltage or phase-to-phase voltage can be selected to be used. “1-out-of-3” or “3-out-of-3” logic
can be selected for the protection criterion. (1-out-of-3 means any of three phase voltages, 3-out-of-3
means all three phase voltages). The circuit breaker position with/without the current condition can be as
an auxiliary criterion for phase undervoltage protection.

Overfrequency Protection (81O)
The device can provide four stages of overfrequency protection. If the system frequency is greater than
the setting, overfrequency protection will operate to remove some part of active power supplies from the
system. Overfrequency protection is with independent definite-time characteristics and with
instantaneous dropout characteristics.
Underfrequency Protection (81U)
The device can provide four stages of underfrequency protection. If the system frequency is less than
the setting, underfrequency protection will operate to shedding some part of loads from the system.
Underfrequency protection is with independent definite-time characteristics and with instantaneous
dropout characteristics.
Frequency Rate-of-change Protection (81R)
The device can provide four stages of frequency rate-of-change protection. If the system frequency
rate-of-change is greater than the setting, frequency rate-of-change protection will operate. Frequency
rate-of-change protection is with independent definite-time characteristics and with instantaneous
Reverse Power Protection (32R)
The device can provide two stages of reverse power protection. If the reverse power is detected and it is
greater than the setting, reverse power protection will operate. Reverse power protection is with
independent operating definite-time characteristics and with instantaneous dropout characteristics.
Reverse power protection can be enabled or disabled by the settings and the signals. For some specific
applications, reverse power protection needs to be blocked by the external signal, so the device provides
an input signal to be used to block reverse power protection.
Thermal Overload Protection (49P)
The device provides two methods to fulfill thermal overload protection, one is to calculate thermal
accumulation according the actual measured current, and the other is to calculate the protected
component's temperature according to the environmental medium temperature plus the temperature
difference.
Thermal overload protection calculates the overtemperature from the phase currents based on a thermal
model of the protected component (I2t characteristics) with the settable time constants according to the
IEC60255-8 standard. Two stages overload protection are available, each stage can operate for alarm
purpose and for trip purpose.
Based on the calculated protected component's temperature, the user can compare it with user-defined
temperature threshold value to trip or alarm with/without the time delay by PCS-Studio.

Undercurrent Protection (37)
The device can provide one stage of undercurrent protection for tripping purpose or alarm purpose. For
different protected equipment, single-phase criterion or three-phase criterion can be selected. The circuit
breaker position and the load current also can be taken as the enabling conditions of undercurrent
protection. Undercurrent protection is with definite-time operating characteristics and instantaneous
Breaker Failure Protection (50BF)
According to the tripping information from the device and the auxiliary information (the current and the
position) of target circuit breaker, breaker failure protection constitutes the criterion to discriminate
whether the target circuit fails to open. If the criterion is confirmed, breaker failure protection will operate
to trip the target circuit breaker with the re-tripping time delay, trip it again with the first time delay and trip
the adjacent circuit breakers with the second time delay. As a special backup protection, breaker failure
protection can quickly isolate the fault, reduce the affected range by the fault, keep system stability and
prevent generators, transformers and other primary equipment from seriously damaged. For breaker
failure protection, phase-segregated re-trip, three-phases re-trip and two time delays are available.
Stub Differential Protection (87STB)
Stub differential protection is mainly designed for one and a half breakers arrangement. When line
disconnector is open and transmission line is put into maintenance, line VT is no voltage. Distance
protection is disabled, and stub differential protection is enabled. It is used to protect stub section among
two circuit breakers and line disconnector. Usually, stub differential protection is enabled automatically
by normally closed auxiliary contact of line disconnector.
Dead Zone Protection (50DZ)
For some wiring arrangement (for example, circuit breaker is located between CT and the line), if fault
occurs between CT and circuit breaker, line protection can operate to trip circuit breaker quickly, but the
fault have not been cleared since local circuit breaker is tripped. Here dead zone protection is needed in
order to trip relevant circuit breaker.
Broken Conductor Protection (46BC)
Broken-conductor fault mainly is single-phase broken or two-phases broken, so broken conductor

protection based on the ratio of negative-sequence current to positive sequence current can detect the
broken-conductor fault. According to the ratio of negative-sequence current to positive-sequence current
(I2/I1), it is used to judge whether there is an broken-conductor fault. Negative-sequence current under
normal operating condition (i.e. unbalance current) is due to CT error and unbalance load, so the ratio of
negative-sequence current to positive-sequence current (amplitude) is relative steady. The value with
margin can then be used as the setting of broken conductor protection. It is mainly used to detect
broken-conductor fault and CT circuit failure as well.

Pole Discrepancy Protection (62PD)
The pole discrepancy of circuit breaker may occur during operation of a breaker with segregated
operating gears for the three phases. Pole discrepancy protection determines three-phase breaker pole
discrepancy condition by its phase segregated CB auxiliary contacts. In order to improve the reliability of
pole discrepancy protection, zero-sequence current element or negative-sequence current element can
be selected as auxiliary criterion.
Transfer Trip (TT)
The device provides phase-segregated transfer trip and three-phases transfer trip, which can be
controlled by local fault detector. In addition, the input signals of phase-segregated transfer trip and
three-phases transfer trip are always supervised, and the device will issue an alarm and block transfer
trip once the binary input is energized for longer than the setting value. Both phase-segregated transfer
trip and three-phase transfer can be selected to operate to block AR.
Trip Logic (TRP)
Trip logic gathers signals from phase selection and protection tripping elements and then converts the
operation signal from protection tripping elements to appropriate tripping signals. The device can
implement phase-segregated tripping or three-phase tripping, and may output the contact of blocking AR
and the contact of initiating breaker failure protection.
Automatic Reclosure (79)
AR can be used with either integrated device or external device. When AR is used with integrated device,
the internal protection logic can initiate AR, moreover, a tripping contact from external device can be
connected to the device via input signal to initiate integrated AR.
When AR is used as an independent device, it can be initiated by the protections′ operating signal. The
device can output some configurable output signals (such as, contact signals or digital signal, for
example, GOOSE signal) to initiate external AR or block external AR. The contact signals includes
phase-segregated tripping signal, single-phase tripping signal, three-phase tripping signal, blocking AR
signal and protection operating signal, etc., According to requirement, these contacts can be selectively
connected to external AR.
According to the requirement, the device can be set as one-shot or multi-shot AR. When adopting
multi-shot AR, the AR mode of first time reclosing can be set as 1-pole AR, 3-pole AR or 1/3-pole AR.
The rest AR mode is only 3-pole AR.
Impedance-Based Fault Location (FL)
The device provides single-end fault location. Fault location picks up after the device operates to trip
when there is a fault in the line. If the pickup time is greater than 25ms, fault location is calculated with a
time delay of 10ms after the device operates to trip. If the pickup time is smaller than 25ms, fault location

is calculated with a time delay of 20ms after the device operates to trip.
When the faulty phase detected there is a protection tripping and the calculation of the fault impedance
is initiated. According to the fault impedance to locate the fault point, two calculation results are provided,
which is the length of the fault point distance from the end of the device and its percentage of lines
length.
For parallel lines, there is a mutual coupling between each phase, and also a mutual coupling between
parallel lines. The coupling strength between parallel lines associated with the transposition way. For
parallel lines with fully transposition, positive-sequence and negative-sequence mutual coupling is very
small, and usually can be ignored. But zero-sequence mutual coupling has a greater influence on the
line, so the measured impedance must consider the effect.
Travelling-Wave Fault Location (TWFL)
The device provides single-ended TW-based method and double-ended TW-based method. The TWFL
is not affected by the line distributed capacitance and faulty resistance, and is an accurate and
dependable fault location method. The TWFL module of the device on both ends of the line only needs to
capture the first travelling wave, so the double-ended TW-based method has higher precision than the
single-ended TW-based method, and almost no blind region of fault location.

Switchgear Control
A control command can realize various control signals such as the CB/DS/ES opening/closing. In order
to ensure the reliability of the control output, a locking circuit is added to each control object. The
operation is strictly in accordance with the selection, check and execution steps, to ensure that the
control operation can be safely and reliably implemented. In addition, the device has a hardware
self-checking and blocking function to prevent hardware damage from maloperation output.
When the device is in the remote control mode, the control command may be sent via communication
protocol; when it is in the local control mode, the local operation may be performed on the device LCD or
panel handle.
A complete control process is:
1. Protocol module sends a selection command;
2. Control module responds the success or failure result of selection;
3. If the selection is successful, the protocol module sends an execution command, otherwise it sends
a cancel command;
4. Control module responds the success or failure result of execution;
5. The control operation may be open/close or up/down/stop.
When the device is in the maintenance status, it can still respond to local control commands.
The switchgear control function can cooperate with functions such as synchronism check and
interlocking criteria calculation to complete the output of the corresponding operation command. It can
realize the normal control output in one bay and the interlocking and programmable logic configuration
between bays. This device supports the following functional control module:

The initiation of a control command may be sent to the device by the SCADA or the NCC through
communication protocol. It may also be the operation of the device LCD or the manual triggering through
configured signal. The command is sent by the CPU to the control module for processing, and a control
record is made on the CPU module according to the control result.
Synchronism Check (25)
The synchronism check includes synchro-check and dead charge check. By comparing between the
reference voltage and the synchronization voltage, the synchro-check is satisfied if the voltage
difference, frequency difference, slip frequency difference and phase angle difference are all within their
setting ranges. The dead charge check mode checks only the synchro-check voltage. Several dead
charge check modes are supported, including dead synchronism voltage & dead reference voltage
check, live synchronism voltage is & dead reference voltage, synchronism voltage is dead & live
reference voltage, dead reference voltage, dead synchronism voltage, live synchronism voltage & dead
reference voltage or dead synchronism voltage & live reference voltage, dead synchronism voltage or
reference voltage.
Voltage Selection
The voltage selection function can be used to switch the reference and synchronization voltages of
synchronism check in double busbars and one-and-half circuit breakers, or to switch three-phases
voltage between double busbars used by protection calculations or measurements.
By default, the device adopts the principle of proximity in built-in voltage selection logic. Moreover, it
supports customized selection logic. The default voltage selection logic is automatically disabled if the
customized voltage selection logic is correctly configured. The customized selection result may be
derived from any source binary signals, such as binary inputs, isolators status and programmable logic
output signals.

programmable logic outputs, etc. The inputted value "1" means "Channel selected" while the
inputted value "0" means "Channel not selected". Make sure that all these customized voltage
selection inputs and measurement channels are correctly configured before put the logic into
service.

Monitoring Functions
Monitoring Functions
VT Circuit Supervision (VTS)
VT circuit supervision can detect failure of single-phase, two-phase and three-phase on protection VT.
Under normal condition, the device continuously supervises input voltage from VT, VT circuit failure
signal will be activated if residual voltage exceeds the threshold value, or negative-sequence voltage
exceeds the threshold value or positive-sequence voltage is lower than the threshold value. If the device
is under pickup state due to system fault or other abnormality, VT circuit supervision will be disabled.
VT (secondary circuit) MCB auxiliary contact as a binary input can be connected to the binary input
circuit of the device. If MCB is open, the device will consider the VT circuit is in open state and issues an
alarm without a time delay. If the auxiliary contact is not connected to the device, VT circuit supervision
will be issued with time delay as mentioned in previous paragraph.
CT Circuit Supervision (CTS)
Under normal conditions, CT secondary signal is continuously supervised by detecting the residual
current and voltage. If residual current is larger than the setting whereas residual voltage is less than the
setting, and any phase current is less than 0.04In, CT circuit failure is considered.
