6.8.2 Applying the Function Parameter Settings
General The teleprotection supplement for earth fault protection is only operational if it was set
to one of the available modes during the configuration of the device (address
132).
Depending on this configuration, only those parameters which are applicable to the
selected mode appear here. If the teleprotection supplement is not required the ad-
dress
132 is set to Teleprot. E/F = Disabled.
Conventional
Transmission
The following modes are possible with conventional transmission links:
− Dir.Comp.Pickup=Directional Comparison Scheme, as described in Sub-sec-
tion 6.8.1.1,
− Unblocking = Directional Unblocking Scheme, as described in Sub-section
6.8.1.2,
− Blocking = Directional Blocking Scheme, as described in Sub-section
6.8.1.3.
In address
3201 FCT Telep. E/F the application of teleprotection can be switched
ON or OFF.
If the teleprotection has to be applied to a three terminal line the setting in address
3202 must be Line Config. = Three terminals,ifnot,thesettingremainsTwo

.
Digital
Transmission
The following mode is possible with digital transmission using the protection data
interface:
− Dir.Comp.Pickup Directional Comparison Scheme, as described in Section
6.8.1.1.
The desired mode is selected at address

is not relevant in that case. The earth fault directional comparison pickup
scheme is only effective if the parameter
132 Teleprot. E/F has been set to
Directional Comparison over Protection Interface in all devices of the
setup.
Earth Fault
Protection
Prerequisites
In the application of the comparison schemes, absolute care must be taken that both
line ends recognize an external earth fault (earth fault through-current) in order to
avoidafaultyechosignalinthecaseofthepermissiveschemes,orinordertoensure
the blocking signal in the case of the blocking scheme. If, during an earth fault accord-
ing to Figure 6-87, the protection at B does not recognize the fault, this would be inter-
preted as a fault with single sided infeed from A (echo from B or no blocking signal
from B), which would lead to unwanted tripping by the protection at A. For this reason,
the earth fault protection has an earth current stage

in Figure 6-87) is the small-
er this stage must be set. On overhead lines a setting equal to 70 % to 80 % of the
earth current stage is usually adequate. On cables or very long lines where the capac-
itive currents in the event of an earth fault are of the same order of magnitude as the

where the circuit breaker is open; the blocking scheme should not be used under these
conditions at all. This setting can only be modified with DIGSI
