All other cases result in 3-pole operate.
3-Pole Coupling
3-pole coupling describes the situation when the trip logic decides to execute 3-pole tripping despite the pres-
ence of a 1-pole operate indication.
This may be the case under the following circumstances:
•
The Automatic reclosing function cannot execute a 1-pole cycle. This is expressed by the cleared signal
79 permits 1-pole trip.
•
If an upstream device has caused 1-pole tripping and the device in question detects this pole as open (via
the process monitor in the Line protection function group) and the device in question detects a fault in
another conductor
•
If 1-pole tripping reoccurs within 50 ms after an instance of 1-pole tripping has been cleared
•
If the permission for 1-pole tripping is canceled by the AR (internal or external) after a cleared 1-pole trip
(during the 1-pole pause)
By default, 3-pole coupling is carried out based on the cumulative operate indication. Optionally, the group
pickup indication can also be taken into account (parameter 3-pole coupling). In this case, every multi-
phase pickup results in a 3-pole coupling, including pickups of different phases from different stages/func-
tions.
2-Phase Short-Circuits
For 2-pole faults, you set the behavior with the parameter Trip at 2ph short circuit.
•
3-pole
Tripping is executed in the event of 2-pole faults.
•
1-pole, leading phase
1-pole tripping takes place in the event of 2-pole faults without grounding. The leading phase is tripped
(for more information, see Table 5-6). In the event of a BC fault, for example, pole B is tripped. 3-pole
tripping takes place in the event of 2-pole faults with grounding.
•
1-pole, lagging phase
1-pole tripping takes place in the event of 2-pole faults without grounding. The lagging phase is tripped.
In the event of a BC fault, for example, pole C is tripped. 3-pole tripping takes place in the event of 2-pole
faults with grounding.
