M13270-3 v6
There is a risk that a circuit breaker will get discrepancy
between the poles at circuit
breaker operation: closing or opening. One pole can be open and the other two closed,
or two poles can be open and one closed. Pole discrepancy of a circuit breaker will
cause unsymmetrical currents in the power system. The consequence of this can be:
• Negative sequence currents that will give stress on rotating machines
• Zero sequence currents that might give unwanted operation of sensitive ground-
fault protections in the power system.
It is therefore important to detect situations with pole discrepancy of circuit breakers.
When this is detected the breaker should be tripped directly.
Pole discordance protection CCPDSC (52PD) will detect situation with deviating
positions of the poles of the protected circuit breaker. The protection has two different
options to make this detection:
• By connecting the auxiliary contacts in the circuit breaker so that logic is created,
a signal can be sent to the protection, indicating pole discrepancy. This logic can
also be realized within the protection itself, by using opened and close signals for
each circuit breaker pole, connected to the protection.
• Each phase current through the circuit breaker is measured. If the difference
between the phase currents is larger than a CurrUnsymPU this is an indication of
pole discrepancy, and the protection will operate.
