ESS := 4, Double Circuit Breaker
Configuration—Common Current Inputs
Set ESS to 4 for circuit breaker-and-a-half applications using combined
current input IW. Figure 1.8 illustrates this application along with the
corresponding current and voltage sources. Current input IX provides circuit
breaker failure protection for Circuit Breaker 1; the corresponding CTs are
located on the line-side of Circuit Breaker 1. The relay calculates the current
flowing through Circuit Breaker 2 (I

= IW + IX= I
CB1
+ I
CB2
+ IX = I

+ I

) to provide independent circuit breaker failure for Circuit
Breaker 2.
