Pole Discrepancy
Supervision
The pole discrepancy supervision can be switched ON or OFF independently at
address 3931 PoleDiscrepancy. It is only useful if the breaker poles can be oper-
ated individually. It avoids that only one or two poles of the local breaker are open
during steady state. It has to be provided that either the auxiliary contacts of each pole
or the series connection of the NO auxiliary contacts and the series connection of the
NC auxiliary contacts are connected to the device's binary inputs. If these conditions
are not fulfilled, switch address 3931 OFF.
The delay time T-PoleDiscrep. (address 3932) determines how long a breaker
pole discrepancy condition of the feeder circuit breaker, i.e. only one or two poles
open, may be present before the pole discrepancy supervision issues a three-pole trip
command. This time must clearly be longer than the duration of a single-pole automat-
ic reclose cycle. The time should be less than the permissible duration of an unbal-
anced load condition which is caused by the unsymmetrical position of the circuit
breaker poles. Conventional values are 2 s to 5 s.
