Broken Conductor A broken conductor of the protected line or in the current transformer secondary circuit
can be detected, if the minimum current %$/$1&(,/,0,7 flows via the feeder. If a
current symmetrie failure is detected and the minimum current is below the threshold
3ROH2SHQ&XUUHQW (address 1130, refer to subsection 6.1.3), an interruption of this
conductor may be assumed. After approximately 5 s the device issues the alarm
“)DLO&RQGXFWRU”.
Voltage Symmetry During normal system operation, a certain degree of voltage symmetry can be as-
sumed. The symmetry is monitored in the device with a magnitude comparison. The
smallest phase voltage is compared to the largest. Non-symmetry is detected when

|<%$/)$&7258
as long as |Umax| > %$/$1&(8/,0,7
U

is the largest and U

is the smallest of the three voltages. The symmetry factor
%$/)$&7258 provides a measure of the voltage unsymmetry, the threshold value
%$/$1&(8/,0,7 defines the lower limit of the operating range for this monitoring
function (refer to Figure 6-116). Both parameters can be set. The reset ratio is approx.
97 %.
This failure is alarmed by “)DLO8EDODQFH”.

Voltage Phase
Rotation
The verification of the faulted phases and the phase preference, direction measure-
ment and polarization with quadrature voltages usually demand clockwise rotation of
the measured values. The phase rotation of the measured voltages is checked by
monitoring of the voltage phase sequence.

This check takes place if each measured voltage has a minimum magnitude of

In the event of negative phase rotation, the alarm “)DLO3K6HT” is issued.
If the system has a negative phase rotation, this must have been set during the con-
figuration of the power system data (Sub-section 6.1.1). In such event, the phase ro-
tation monitoring applies to the corresponding opposite phase sequence.
