choice is made in address  S5(75,37. Set this parameter to <(6 if you 
wish single-pole trip for the first stage, otherwise to 12.
If the breaker does not respond to this trip repetition, the adjacent circuit breakers are 
tripped after T2 i.e., the circuit breakers of the busbar or of the concerned busbar 
section and if necessary also the circuit breaker at the remote end unless the fault has 
been cleared.
Separate delay times can be set
• for single- or three-pole trip repetition to the local feeder circuit breaker after a 1-
pole trip of the feeder protection 7SROH at address ,
• for three-pole trip repetition to the local feeder circuit breaker after 3-pole trip of the 
feeder protection 7SROH (address ),
• for trip of the adjacent circuit breakers (busbar zone and remote end if applicable) 
7 at address .
The delay times are set dependant on the maximum operating time of the feeder 
circuit breaker and the reset time of the current detectors of the breaker failure protec-
tion, plus a safety margin which allows for any tolerance of the delay timers. Figure 2-
136 illustrates the timing of a typical breaker failure scenario. The dropout time for si-
nusoidal currents is ≤ 15 ms. If current transformer saturation is anticipated, the time 
should be set to 25 ms.

Single-stage 
Breaker Failure 
Protection       
With single-stage operation, the adjacent circuit breakers (i.e. the breakers of the 
busbar zone and, if applicable, the breaker at the remote end) are tripped after a delay 
time 7 (address ) following initiation, should the fault not have been cleared 
within this time.
The timers 7SROH (address ) and 7SROH (address ) are then set to 
∞ since they are not needed.
But you may use the T1-timers for single-stage protection if you wish to utilize the fa-
cility of setting different delay times after single-pole trip and three-pole trip of the 
feeder protection. In this case set 7SROH (address ) and 7SROH (ad-
dress ) separately but address  S5(75,37 to 12, to avoid a single-
