In example 1, the fail-safe approach aims at securing circuit breaker tripping even
if a relay fails. The incomer panel relay indicates the start of selected protection
functions. This start signal is distributed to all load feeder panels. If a relay in the
load feeder panel indicates an IRF status, the start signal of the incomer panel
relay results in circuit breaker tripping. This approach offers basic protection for a
load feeder while the actual protection relay performs a self-supervision controlled
restart sequence.
