Function blocking guidelines
The operation of the underimpedance protection must be restrained if the voltage in one
or more phases suddenly drops close to zero without any significant change in the current
observed at the same time. This situation is considered as a fuse failure or a miniature
circuit breaker operation in the voltage transformer secondary circuit. The voltage drop
could cause an unwanted operation of the function block since the calculated impedance
could fall below the set operating limit even if there is no actual fault in the primary
system.
The blocking operation is provided by an external function block, the fuse failure
supervision 60, whose output is connected to the BLOCK input of 21G.
