4.2.7.2. Three-phase/ single-phase mode
The function has three current detectors. When it is used in the
three-phase mode, each current detector measures the current
in each of the three phases.
In order to accommodate a fourth current detector measuring the
neutral current, this function has to be duplicated and the second
function set to the single-phase mode and the appropriate cur-
rent pick-up. The two functions then operate in parallel .
This arrangement also covers the two special cases of phase-to-
phase-to-ground and three-phase-to-ground faults.
4.2.7.3. ‘Redundant Trip’
The ‘Redundant Trip’ logic performs phase-segregated direct
tripping of the same circuit-breaker without any intentional time
delay, if the Start inputs are active and the corresponding current
detectors have picked up. This ensures that the breaker receives
a tripping command in the event of a unit protection trip circuit
failure, which would otherwise cause a second attempt to trip the
same breaker or backup tripping of the surrounding breakers.
