2.13 Circuit Breaker Failure Protection

The delay time T-PoleDiscrep. (address 3932) indicates how long a circuit breaker pole discrepancy con-
dition of the feeder circuit breaker, i.e. only one or two poles open, may be present before the pole discrepancy
supervision issues a 3-pole trip command. This time must be clearly longer than the duration of a 1-pole auto-
matic reclose cycle. The time should be less than the permissible duration of an unbalanced load condition
which is caused by the unsymmetrical position of the circuit breaker poles. Conventional values are 2 s to 5 s.
2.13.3 Settings
The table indicates region-specific presettings. Column C (configuration) indicates the corresponding second-
ary nominal current of the current transformer.
