1.2.1 Alternative setting groups
The P442 and P444 relays can store up to four independent groups of settings. The active
group is selected either locally using the menu or remotely using the serial communications.
The ability to quickly reconfigure the relay to a new setting group may be desirable if
changes to the system configuration demand new protection settings. Typical examples
where this feature can be used include:
Single-bus installations with a transfer bus;
Double bus installations, with or without a separate transfer bus, where the transfer circuit
breaker or bus coupler might be used to take up the duties of any feeder circuit breaker
when both the feeder circuit breaker and the current transformers are by-passed.
For a double bus installation, it is usual for bus 1 to be referred to as the main bus and bus 2
as the reserve bus, and for any bypass circuit isolator to be connected to bus 2 as shown in
Figure 1. This arrangement avoids the need for a current polarity reversing switch that would
be required if both buses were to be used for by-pass purposes. The standby relay,
associated with the transfer circuit breaker or the bus coupler, can be programmed with the
individual setting required for each of the outgoing feeders. For bypass operation the
