2.11.3.2 Setting Notes
Phase selection
Phase selection is accomplished via undervoltage detection. For this purpose no absolute voltage threshold
in volts is parameterized, but a factor (address 2510 Uphe< Factor) which is multiplied with the measured
phase-phase voltage, and yields the voltage threshold. This method considers operational deviations from the
rated voltage in the undervoltage threshold and adjusts them to the current conditions.
The undervoltage threshold is created from the mean value of the measured phase-to-phase voltages of the
last 500 ms and delayed via a voltage memory. Thus changes of the phase-to-phase voltage affect the thresh-
old only slowly. The time constant can be set at address 2511 Time const. Ï„. In case of pickup the last
determined voltage threshold of the phase that has picked up remains until a trip command is issued. This
ensures that an influence of the voltage threshold by the fault is avoided for long waiting times. The undervolt-
age is determined for all 3 phases.
If the measured phase-to-phase voltage falls below the threshold (address 1131 PoleOpenVoltage), under-
voltage is no longer detected in this phase.
Since a positive feedback occurs during tripping, i. e. the measured fault status cannot be eliminated by switch-
ing off, the picked up element drops out after the WI tripping. When the current voltage exceeds the dropout
threshold, a new pickup is possible after a maximum of 1 s.

Instantaneous tripping
An undelayed TRIP command is issued if a receive signal „>WI reception“ is present and if an undervolt-
age is detected simultaneously. The receive signal is prolonged at address 2512 Rec. Ext. so that a trip
command is still possible in the event of a quick dropout of the transmitting line end.
To prevent a faulty pickup of the weak infeed function following tripping of the line and reset of the fault detection
by the distance protection function, a pickup is blocked in the corresponding phase. This blocking is maintained
until the receive signal disappears.
If a receive signal applies and no undervoltage is detected, but the zero sequence current threshold 3I0>
Threshold is exceeded (address 2514), a fault on the line can be assumed. If this state (receive signal, no
undervoltage and zero sequence current) applies for longer than 500 ms, 3-pole tripping is initiated. The time
delay for the signal „3I0> exceeded“ is set at address 2513 T 3I0> Ext.. If the zero sequence current
exceeds the threshold 3I0> Threshold for longer than the set time T 3I0> alarm (address 2520), the
annunciation „3I0 detected“ is issued.
The non-delayed stage operates only if binary input „>WI rec. OK“ reports the proper functioning of the
transmission channel.
Moreover, the phase-selective block signals BLOCK Weak Inf affect the non-delayed logic. Faulty pickups are
thus prevented, especially after the dedicated line end was shut down.
In address 2530 WI non delayed the stage for instantaneous tripping is switched OFF or ON permanently.
