3.2.7.3 TOR-SOTF Trip Logic
During the TOR-SOTF 500 ms window, individual distance protection zones can be enabled
or disabled using the TOR-SOTF Mode (‘Distance schemes’ menu) function links (TOR
logic Bit0 to Bit4 & SOTF logic Bit5 to Bit0E, see Figure 43 for SOTF-TOR trip logic). Setting
the relevant Bit to 1 will enable that zone, setting Bits to 0 will disable distance zones. When
enabled (Bit = 1), the zones will trip without waiting for their usual time delays. Therefore
tripping can even occur for close-up three phase short circuits where line connected VTs are
used, and memory voltage for a directional decision is unavailable. Setting “All Zones
Enabled” allows instantaneous tripping to occur for all faults within the trip characteristic
shown in Figure 41 below. Note, the TOR-SOTF element has second harmonic current
detection, to avoid maloperation where power transformers are connected in-zone, and
inrush current would otherwise cause problems. Harmonic blocking of distance zones occurs
when the magnitude of the second harmonic current exceeds 25% of the fundamental.

In the following trip logic results, the following acronyms are used:

TOR-SOTF
SOTF trip / TOR trip / Dist trip
T0, T1, T2, Tzp (Tzq), T3, T4
Name of the selection
and setting
SOTF trip (trip by SOTF (manual reclose))
/ TOR trip (autoreclose):
An instantaneous 3-pole trip will occur for a fault in a zone without waiting
for the distance timer to expire
Dist. Trip: trip by distance protection logic
T0 (instantaneous trip) and T1, T2, Tzp (Tzq), T3, T4 (Distance
time-delays, for a zone.
The fault is maintained with a duration higher than the 500 ms SOTF time, until a trip occurs.
