87L Channel Monitoring and Alarming Logic
The line current differential protection function is communications dependent.
It is necessary, therefore, to monitor the status of the communications
channels during in-service operation to detect abnormal or unexpected
conditions and initiate corrective actions. Checking for normal, as specified,
performance of the communications channels is an integral part of a typical
commissioning procedure for the 87L function. In addition, the 87L function
itself responds to some monitored channel characteristics in real time to
maintain proper security and dependability. To serve all these needs, the relay
provides a set of channel monitoring and alarming functions.
This section describes such relay channel monitoring as round-trip channel
delay, channel asymmetry, lost packet counts, etc. These monitoring functions
provide overall assessment of channel quality and feed into the hot stand-by
channel switchover logic and the time fallback logic.
The logic in this section applies to all active channels (87CHpAC asserted),
unless indicated otherwise.
