Unblocking mode
The unblocking mode is a release procedure. Short circuits on overhead lines may cause a dis-
turbance of PLC links. To guarantee in this case the release for the permissive protection device,
the unblocking impulse is used.
If the signal to be transmitted does not reach the other line end, because a short circuit on the line
causes excessive attenuation or reflection of the signal, the receiver recognizes a fault and emits
the unblocking impulse. It is carried out via the interface module IFC-P/D command output 4 and
connected to the unblocking logic of the protection relay ensuring the release (for 10-300 ms) in
case of fault.

The unblocking function is activated when the time for the unblocking impulse is more then 0 ms
(tunbl > 0 ms).
Possible tripping codes used in the SWT 3000
The coded tripping is combining always two frequencies from the VFx_CT variants. For this vari-
ants 7 trip frequencies, the guard and the sync. frequencies are used. Depending on the PLC con-
figuration, the frequencies are transmitted in the VF or IF range. The following table shows the
combinations for the tripping codes C1 up to C16.
