SCEFRFLO can also be applied for earth-fault location in unearthed distribution
networks.
Configuration example
A typical configuration example for SCEFRFLO triggering is illustrated in
Figure
256
where external triggering is applied, that is,
Calculation Trg mode
is set to
“External”. The OPERATE signal from non-directional overcurrent function PHLPTOC
is used to provide an indication of a short circuit fault. The OPERATE signal from
the directional earth-fault function DEFLPDEF is used to provide an indication of an
earth fault at the protected feeder.
SCEFRFLO with the autoreclosing function
When SCEFRFLO is used with the autoreclosing sequence, the distance estimate
from the first trip is typically the most accurate one. The fault distance estimates
from successive trips are possible but accuracy can be decreased due to inaccurate
load compensation. During the dead time of an autoreclosing sequence, the load
condition of the feeder is uncertain.
The triggering of SCEFRFLO can also be inhibited during the autoreclosing
sequence. This is achieved by connecting the inverted READY signal from the
autoreclosing function DARREC, which indicates that the autoreclosing sequence is
in progress, to the BLOCK input of SCEFRFLO. Blocking of the SCEFRFLO triggering
is suggested during the autoreclosing sequence when the load compensation or
steady-state asymmetry elimination is based on the delta quantities. This applies
to the short circuit faults when
Load Com PP loops
is set to “Enabled” or, for earth
faults, when

is set to “Load compensation” or “Load modelling”.
