Protection Functions
Loss-of-Potential Logic
Setting ELOP := Y
If you set ELOP to Y and an LOP condition occurs, the voltage-polarized
directional elements and all distance elements are disabled. The forward-
looking directional overcurrent elements effectively become nondirectional
and provide overcurrent protection during an LOP condition.
Setting ELOP := Y1
If you set ELOP to Y1 and an LOP condition occurs, the voltage-polarized
directional elements and all distance elements are disabled. This setting for
ELOP also disables the overcurrent elements that these voltage-polarized
directional elements control.
Figure 1.16 illustrates how the LOP logic processes an LOP decision.
Figure 1.17 provides a logic diagram for the LOP logic.
