In example 4, the fail-safe approach aims at securing motor shutdown via an
emergency switch and in case the control voltage disappears. The adjacent panels
provide backup for each other in internal relay fault situations. In case of an internal
relay fault, the situation is noticed by the relay in the adjacent panel and the circuit
breaker in the panel with the faulty relay is tripped after a preset time delay. The
additional time delay allows the relay to recover from the internal fault situation
without tripping the circuit breaker.
3.3.4.2 Other critical feeders
The examples given for motor feeders can be applied for other types of feeders as
well. The following examples are for critical feeders in which the protection system
dependability, security or both are the drivers.
