16.1.2 Application
To achieve fast fault clearing for a fault on the part of the line not covered by the
instantaneous zone 1, the stepped distance protection function can be supported with logic
that uses a communication channel.
One communication channel in each direction, which can transmit an on/off signal is
required. The performance and security of this function is directly related to the
transmission channel speed and security against false or lost signals. Communication
speed, or minimum time delay, is always of utmost importance because the purpose for
using communication is to improve the tripping speed of the scheme.
To avoid false signals that could cause false tripping, it is necessary to pay attention to the
security of the communication channel. At the same time it is important to pay attention
to the communication channel dependability to ensure that proper signals are
communicated during power system faults, the time during which the protection schemes
must perform their tasks flawlessly.
The logic supports the following communications schemes:
• blocking schemes (blocking and delta blocking)
• permissive schemes (overreaching and underreaching)
• unblocking scheme and direct intertrip
