ABB Relion 670 series - Weak-End Infeed

If the teleprotection equipment is integrated in the protection IED the decision time can be
slightly reduced.
The principle time sequence of signaling at current reversal is shown.

16.7.3.2 Weak-end infeed
The weak-end infeed can be set by setting the parameter WEI to Off, Echo or Echo &
Trip. Operating zero sequence voltage when parameter WEI is set to Echo & Trip is set
with 3V0PU.
The zero sequence voltage for a fault at the remote line end and appropriate fault resistance
is calculated.
To avoid unwanted trip from the weak-end infeed logic (if spurious signals should occur),
set the operate value of the broken delta voltage level detector (3V0) higher than the
maximum false network frequency residual voltage that can occur during normal service
conditions. The recommended minimum setting is two times the false zero-sequence
voltage during normal service conditions.
