twostage breaker failure protection
Single-stage Breaker Failure Protection
With single-stage operation, the adjacent circuit breakers (i.e. the breakers of the busbar zone and, if appli-
cable, the breaker at the remote end) are tripped after a delay time T2 (address 7016) following initiation,
should the fault not have been cleared within this time.
The delay time T1 (address 7015) is then set to ∞ since it is not needed.
The delay times are determined from the maximum operating time of the feeder circuit breaker, the reset time
of the current detectors of the breaker failure protection, plus a safety margin which allows for any tolerance
of the delay timers. The time sequences are illustrated in Figure 2-113. For sinusoidal currents one can assume
that the reset time of the current detectors is about
1
/
2
cycle but if current transformer saturation is expected,
then1
1
/
2
cycles should be assumed as worst case.
