2.7.5 ULTRA HIGH-SPEED TRIP (UHST) ALGORITHM
The UHST algorithm is a blocking algorithm that allows a trip at the remote station if a blocking current equal to
- (11A - bias setting)
peak
has not been recorded (See Figure 2-7). The minimum blocking current allowed is
- 7.5A peak. The RFL 9300 sends a UHST signal to the remote RFL 9300 whenever the local station detects
that the input current's peak value is +12 amperes or more for 2 ms. This results in a much faster trip response
at the remote RFL 9300 for strong internal faults, since it doesn't have to wait for the current waveform's zero
crossing to send the signal.
For the ground subsystem, the blocking current is + (11A - bias setting)
peak
and the input current's peak value
is –12 amperes or more for 2 ms. The minimum blocking current allowed is +7.5A peak.
For examples of UHST operation, see Figures 3-11 and 3-12 in Section 3 of this manual.
