2.12.5 Protection for week infeed terminal
Both POP and UOP are provided with ECHO and WIKT; both are used for a line including
weak infeed terminals.
(i) ECHO function
With regard to POP, if a terminal receives a trip permission signal when neither forward
overreaching element nor reverse looking element have operated, ECHO sends back the
received signal to the opposite terminal.
With regard to UOP, if a terminal receives a block signal when neither forward
overreaching element nor reverse looking element have operated, ECHO stops sending the
block signal to the opposite terminal.
When CB is open, ECHO sends back the trip permission signal or stops sending the trip
block signal. User can set the time from CB opened to ECHO enabled using setting
[TCARECCB].
The terminal on which the forward overreaching element has operated can issue a trip
signal speedy by using the signal by ECHO.
Once the forward overreaching element or reverse looking element have operated,
transmission of the echo signal is inhibited for 250 ms by delayed drop-off timer T1 even after
these elements are reset.
To prevent any spurious echo signal from looping round between the terminals in a
