Circuit Breaker Failure Protection
Use the SEL-421 to provide circuit breaker failure protection for as many as
two circuit breakers. The circuit breaker failure protection logic includes the
following schemes:
➤ Failure to interrupt fault current for phase currents
➤ Failure to interrupt load current
➤ No current/residual current circuit breaker failure protection
➤ Flashover protection while the circuit breaker is open
All schemes can incorporate single-pole and three-pole retrip. Single-pole and
three-pole initiations are available for circuit breaker failure, including
extended breaker failure initiation. The circuit breaker failure logic also
includes breaker failure trip latching logic.
The failure-to-interrupt-fault-current logic includes two schemes; both are
suitable for three-pole or single-pole tripping applications. Scheme 1 is basic
circuit breaker failure that is useful for most applications. Scheme 2 allows
