4.6 Circuit Breaker Failure (50BF)
The circuit breaker fail function has two time delayed outputs that can be used for combinations of re-tripping or
back-tripping. CB Fail outputs are given after elapse of the 50BF-1 Delay or 50BF-2 Delay settings.
The circuit breaker fail protection time delays are initiated either from:
An output Trip Contact of the relay (MENU: OUTPUT CONFIG\BINARY OUTPUT MATRIX\Trip
Contacts), or
A binary input configured 50BF Ext Trip (MENU: INPUT CONFIG\BINARY INPUT MATRIX\50BF Ext
Trip).
CB Fail outputs will be issued providing any of the 3 phase currents are above the 50BF Setting for longer than
the 50BF-n Delay setting – indicating that the fault has not been cleared.
Both 50BF-1 and 50BF-2 can be mapped to any output contact or LED.
Operation of the CB Fail elements can be inhibited from:
Inhibit 50BF A binary or virtual input.
