5.1 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 two
timers run concurrently.
The circuit breaker fail protection time delays are initiated either from: -
An output Trip Contact of the relay (MENU: OUTPUT CONFIG\BINARY OUTPUT CONFIG\Trip
Contacts), or
A binary or virtual input assigned to 50BF Ext Trig (MENU: INPUT CONFIG\INPUT MATRIX\50BF Ext
Trig).
A binary or virtual input assigned to 50BF Mech Trip (MENU: INPUT CONFIG\INPUT MATRIX\ 50BF
Mech Trip).
CB Fail outputs will be issued providing any of the 3 phase currents are above the 50BF Setting or the current in
the fourth CT is above 50BF-I4 for longer than the 50BF-n Delay setting, or for a mechanical protection trip the
circuit breaker is still closed when the 50BF-n Delay setting has expired – indicating that the fault has not been
cleared.
Both 50BF-1 and 50BF-2 can be mapped to any output contact or LED.
If the CB Faulty input (MENU: INPUT CONFIG\INPUT MATRIX\50BF CB Faulty) is energised when a CB trip is
given the time delays 50BF-n Delay will be by-passed and the output given immediately.
Operation of the CB Fail elements can be inhibited from: -
Inhibit 50BF A binary input, virtual input or remote data Comms.
