Communications-Assisted Tripping Logic
Communications-Assisted Tripping Logic
Communications-assisted tripping schemes provide unit protection for
transmission lines without any need for external coordination devices. The
relay includes the following five schemes.
➤ POTT—Permissive-overreaching transfer trip
➤ POTT2—Two-channel permissive overreaching transfer trip
➤ POTT3—Phase-segregated permissive overreaching
transfer trip
➤ DCUB—Directional comparison unblocking
➤ DCB—Directional comparison blocking
All of these schemes work in both two-terminal and three-terminal line
applications. For the DCUB scheme, you have separate settings choices for
these applications (ECOMM equals DCUB1 or DCUB2) because of unique
DCUB logic considerations.
You must set Zone 3 reverse-looking (DIR3 equals R) for all three schemes.
