5.3.5.4 Failure of the Bus Coupler Circuit Breaker
If a busbar short-circuit occurs with the bus coupler closed (Figure 5-27, page 127), a
TRIP command is issued to all related feeders of this zone and to the coupling bay
units. (1)
Thus bus zone BZ A is isolated and the healthy bus zone BZ B stays in service.
In the event of a failure of the bus coupler circuit breaker, the busbar protection has to
disconnect bus zone BZ B, too (single unbalancing to BZ B).
If the current keeps on flowing in a coupler unit after the time set in parameter T-BF-
mP (XX21/CU) has elapsed, the coupler current will be unbalanced.
The trip criterion is thus fulfilled and bus zone BZ B is isolated, too. (2)
In the case of a breaker failure of the circuit breaker in the bus coupler bay (internal
breaker failure), the alarms "TRIP BF G" (10436/CU), "TRIP BF $03 Lx"
(177.1352.$03/CU, 177.1353.$03/CU, 177.1354.$03/CU), "TRIP $03 G"
(177.1341.$03/CU), "TranfTrip $00" (176.1082.$00/CU), "TRIP BBP G"
(FNo. 10449), "TRIP $03 Lx" (177.1342.$03/CU, 177.1343.$03/CU,
177.1344.$03/CU), and the group alarm "Transf. Trip G" (10433/CU) are
issued.

5.3.5.5 Circuit Breaker Not Ready
For the detection of malfunctions in the tripping mechanism of the feeder circuit break-
er, the bay unit is provided with a binary input ">CB not ready" (FNo. 7619/BU).
If a breaker failure occurs while a signal is present at this binary input, the breaker fail-
ure protection uses the delay time T-BF CB fault (XX24/CU) instead of the time
set with the parameters T-BF-1P (XX20/CU) and T-BF-mP (XX21/CU). No TRIP re-
petition is performed (exception: low-current mode).
With the parameter T-BF CB fault (XX24/CU), the delay time of the breaker failure
protection can be reduced.
A TRIP command from the bay unit issues at the same time a transfer trip command
to trip the remote end (Figure 5-22, page 121).
