R.2.21
Date Code 20111215 Reference Manual SEL-421 Relay
Auto-Reclosing and Synchronism Check
Two-Circuit-Breaker Auto-Reclosing
Example Three: BK2 as Conditional Follower
One method to program BK2 for closing only after a successful BK1 close is
to set SLBK1/SLBK2/FBKCEN as in Table 2.13.
Reset State
Prior to receiving initiation for a three-phase fault, the auto-reclose logic
resets for both circuit breakers. Table 2. 14 defines the logical state of the auto-
reclose logic for this example prior to the initiation of an auto-reclose cycle.
79CY3 Cycle State
The SEL-421 auto-reclose logic receives a three-pole initiation. Table 2.15
defines the logical state of the auto-reclose logic for this example during the
three-pole auto-reclose cycle.
