4.9.7 System Synchronising Mode
For the relay to issue a System Sync Close the following conditions have to be met: -
Both the Bus and Line voltages must be considered Live by the Voltage Monitoring elements.
25 System Sync Angle – the phase difference between the line and bus voltages has to be less than the phase
angle setting value and the phase angle has to be decreasing before the element will issue a valid close signal.
25 System Sync Slip, [if  Enabled] – the frequency difference between line and bus has to be less than the slip
frequency  setting  value.  Slip  frequency  must  be  above  the 25  Split  Slip  setting  to  avoid  reversion  to  Check
Synchronising conditions. The settings for 25 System Sync Slip and 25 Split Slip must differ by at least 20 mHz.
25  System  Sync  Timer,  [if  Enabled]  –  the  phase  angle  and  voltage  blocking  features  have  to  be  within  their
parameters for the length of the slip timer setting. If either the phase angle or the voltage elements fall outside of
their limits the slip timer is reset. If they subsequently come back in then the slip timer has to time out before an
output  is  given.    (This  ensures  that  a  close  output  will  not  be  given  if  there  is  a  transient  disturbance  on  the
system due to e.g. some remote switching operations).
25 Line Undervolts, [if Enabled] – the line voltage has to be above the line under-voltage setting value and also
above 5V for an output to be given.
25 Bus Undervolts, [if Enabled] – the bus voltage has to be above the line under-voltage setting value and also
above 5V for an output to be given.
25 Volt  Differential, [if Enabled]  – the difference  between the line and bus voltages  has to be  less  than the V
detector setting value for an output to be given.
The System Synchronising operation of the relay will only be started after a System Split is detected as described
in section 4.9.6 during an autoreclose or manual close sequence.

4.9.8 Close on Zero Mode
If the 25 DAR Split Mode or 25 MC Split Mode is set to COZ the relay will apply a Close-On-Zero to the respective
closing  operation  if  the  synchronising  mode  changes  to  System  Split.  The  measured  slip  frequency  and  the
measured phase difference are used to provide a Close Pulse which will close the CB when the phase difference
is  reducing  and  timed  with  the  setting 25  CB  Close  Time such  that  the  instant  of  closure  is  when  the  phase
difference is zero. The slip frequency must be less than the 25 COZ Slip Freq but greater than the 25 Split Slip
setting to avoid reversion to Check Synchronising conditions.
Since this feature is part of the System Synchronising function, 25 System Sync must also be set to Enabled.
