), which is to avoid unintentional operation of circuit breaker failure
protection.
The time delay for the backup trip(50BF_BFTrBu_T) must be longer compared to the retrip time so
that the unwanted backup tripping can be avoided.
3.7.3 50BF Application Scope
50BF can retrip and breaker failure trip. This means that a second trip signal is sent to the
protected circuit breaker. These functions are used to increase the operational reliability of the
breaker. The function can also be used to avoid backup tripping of several breakers in case
mistakes occur during IED maintenance and tests.
The breaker failure function and dead zone function issue a backup trip command to upstream
circuit breakers in case the original circuit breaker fails to trip for the protected component. The
detection of a failure to break the current through the breaker is made by measuring the current or
by detecting the remaining trip signal.
