2.10 External direct and remote tripping
Any signal from an external protection or monitoring device can be coupled into the
signal processing of the 7SA522 by means of a binary input. This signal may be de-
layed, alarmed and routed to one or several output relays.
2.10.1 Method of Operation
External Trip of the
Local Circuit
Breaker
Figure 2-92 shows the logic diagram. If the device and circuit breaker are capable of
single-phase operation, it is also possible to trip single phase. The tripping logic of the
device in this case ensures that the conditions for single-phase tripping are satisfied
(e.g. single-phase tripping enabled, automatic reclosure ready).
The external tripping can be switched on and off with a setting parameter and may be
blocked via binary input.

Remote Trip of the
Circuit Breaker at
the Opposite Line
End
On a digital communication link via protection interface, transmission of up to 4 remote
commands is possible, as described in Section 2.5.
On conventional transmission paths, one transmission channel per desired transmis-
sion direction is required for remote tripping at the remote end. For example, fibre optic
connections or voice frequency modulated high frequency channels via pilot cables,
power line carrier or microwave radio links can be used for this purpose in the following
ways.
If the trip command of the distance protection is to be transmitted, it is best to use the
integrated teleprotection function for the transmission of the signal as this already in-
corporates the extension of the transmitted signal, as described in Sub-section 2.6.
Any of the commands can of course be used to trigger the transmitter to initiate the
send signal.
