SEL-321/321-1 Instruction Manual
Directional Comparison Blocking (DCB) Logic
This logic performs the following tasks:
• Provides the individual carrier coordination timers for the Zone 2 and Level 2 elements to
allow time for the block trip signal to arrive from the remote terminal.
• Instantaneously keys the communications equipment to transmit block trip for reverse
faults and extends this signal for a settable time following the dropout of all Zone 3 and
Level 3 elements.
• Latches block trip send condition by the phase distance elements following a close-in
zero-voltage three-phase fault where the polarizing memory expires. Latch is removed
when the polarizing memory voltage returns or current is removed.
• Extends the received block trip signal by a settable time.
External Input
