Influence of Other Functions via Dynamic Settings
The influence of these functions via dynamic settings is described in chapter 6.3.8.1 Description and chapter
6.3.8.2 Application and Setting Notes (Advanced Stage) .
Application Notes for Parallel Lines and Cable Runs with Infeed at Both Ends
Parallel Lines or Transformers
In parallel lines or transformers with infeed at one end (see Figure 6-58), if there is no directional measuring
element, a fault on feeder T1 will also trip the other feeder T2. In contrast, a directional measuring element in
the devices on busbar B prevents the tripping of the circuit breaker in the parallel feeder. Therefore, in
Figure 6-58, directional overcurrent protection is used in the places marked with direction arrows. Please note
that the forward direction of the protection device represents the direction towards the object to be protected.
This does not have to be the same as the power direction of normal power flow.
Set time grading in opposition to the power flow with increasing time. As load can only flow in one direction,
you can set the directional devices without time delay.

Cable Runs with Infeed at Both Ends
Cable runs with infeed at both ends and lines connected to form ring topologies also require that you supple-
ment overcurrent protection with the directional criterion. Figure 6-59 shows a ring system implementation,
with the 2 infeeds shown merging in the ring to form a single infeed. For the directional devices whose
forward direction matches the power-flow direction, set time grading in opposition to the power flow with
increasing time. As power flow from both ends is possible, grading has to be set at both ends.
