Under healthy conditions, current must be flowing out of one end of a protected line and a blocking signal could be
sent out continuously, and indeed such a signal would be required to prevent the directional relay at the other end of
the line from initiating the opening of its associated circuit-breaker. This is clearly undesirable because any interruption
of a blocking signal could cause the opening of a circuit-breaker. For this and other reasons which are considered later,
current-operated starting relays must be included in interlock schemes which use this type of signalling. These
considerations have been based on schemes with a single directional relay at each end of a protected zone. Most
schemes do, however, have several relays at each end. In these cases permissive signals must be sent when any
directional relay detects current flowing into its end, whereas, when blocking signals are employed, a signal must only
be sent when all the directional relays at an end detect currents leaving the protected zone.
Signals may clearly be sent over pilot wires specially provided for the purpose. This practice may be thought
desirable when major lines are to be protected and in such cases a relay or electronic circuitry may be used to
detect the arrival of signals and then tripping of the circuit-breaker at the receiving end will be either allowed or
prevented depending on the type of signalling being employed. When less important lines are to be protected,
signalling may be effected over conductors used for telephony. In such cases, operation of starting relays must cause
the conductors to be available for the transmission of interlocking signals if necessary. This requires special
arrangements with the telephone company so that transmission is always available within an acceptable time delay.
Optical-fibre links are now employed for the transmission of interlocking signals, and because such links are separate
from the conductors of lines being protected, they are not directly affected by system faults. Both permissive and
blocking signals can therefore be sent over these links. Again, reliable power supplies must be provided for the
equipment associated with this method of signalling.
