Figure 5â7: OVERCURRENT UNITS BLOCK CONFIGURATION BY THE DIRECTIONAL UNIT
The figure shows the block configuration for the Group 1 high range time overcurrent element. Block is configured
independently for each phase and setpoint group, and the selected block signals can vary according to the userâs
requirements. The phase overcurrent unit will be blocked when the corresponding directional unit doesnât allow operation.
PH IOC1 HIGH A BLK = NOT(PHASE DIR1 A OP). In this example, the overcurrent unit is also blocked by a digital input.
Directional units can also be blocked with signals coming from other relays, PLCs, or through signals configured in the relay
PLC Editor (Logic configuration tool). The signal used in that case is PHASE DIR BLK INP. Figure 5â8:
shows an example
of the default block configuration of directional units by digital input. There is one block signal per input for each setpoint
group.
Figure 5â8: DIRECTIONAL UNIT BLOCK CONFIGURATION BY INPUT
The main component of the phase directional element is the angle comparator with two inputs: the operation magnitude
(phase current) and the polarization magnitude (phase-to-phase voltage rotated the angle set in MTA setpoint), which is the
torque angle.
The Polarization type used in the directional unit is crossed, this means that in case of a fault in phase A, the Operation
magnitude will be Ia, and the polarization magnitude will be Vbc, rotated the set torque angle. In case of a fault in phase B,
the operation magnitude will be Ib, and the polarization magnitude will be Vca rotated the set torque angle. Finally, in case
of a fault in phase C, the operation magnitudes will be Ic, and Vab.
