Directional Comparison Blocking Scheme
Timer BTXD (Block Trip Extension) delays dropout of the control input
assigned to Relay Word bit BT so that unwanted tripping does not occur
during momentary lapses of the blocking signal (carrier holes). This timer
maintains the blocking signal at the receiving relay by delaying the dropout of
Relay Word bit BT.
Three-Terminal Line
If you apply the DCB scheme to a three-terminal line, program SELOGIC
control equation BT as follows:
BT := IN105 OR IN106 Block Trip Received (SELOGIC Equation)
Relay inputs IN105 or IN106 assert when the relay receives a blocking signal
from either of the two other terminals. The relay cannot high-speed trip if
either control input asserts. These two control inputs were chosen for this
particular example. Use appropriate control inputs for your application.
Stopping Elements
Zone 2 distance and Level 2 directional overcurrent elements detect that the
fault is in the tripping direction and stop the starting elements from
transmitting the blocking signal to the remote terminal. Program an output
contact to stop carrier by energizing an input of the communications
equipment transmitter.
The stopping elements must have priority over the nondirectional starting
elements; however, directional starting elements must have priority over the
stopping elements. Figure 1.61 shows that the directional starting elements
have internal priority over the stopping elements. Use SEL
OGIC control
equations to make sure that the stopping elements have priority over the
nondirectional starting elements:
OUT101 := NSTRT AND NOT STOP OR DSTRT Output (SELOGIC Equation)
