D90 LINE DISTANCE PROTECTION SYSTEM – INSTRUCTION MANUAL
RX Coordination Pickup Delay
Range: 0.000 to 65.535 seconds in steps of 0.001
Default: 0.010 seconds
This setting specifies a time delay for the forward-looking protection elements used by
the scheme for coordination with the blocking response from the remote ends. This
setting is to include both the response time of the protection elements used to establish
a blocking signal and the total transmission time of that signal including the relay
communications equipment interfacing and the communications channel itself.
Transient Block Pickup Delay
Range: 0.000 to 65.535 seconds in steps of 0.001
Default: 0.030 seconds
This setting specifies a transient blocking mechanism embedded in the directional
comparison blocking scheme for coping with the exposure of both the over-reaching
zone 2 and ground directional overcurrent function to current reversal conditions.
The transient blocking logic applies to the send path only. Identifying the fault as a
reverse fault establishes the blocking signal. If the reverse fault condition prevails for the
time specified by this setting, the blocking operation is extended by the transient
blocking timer for time specified by the
riding through current reversal conditions. However, if zone 1 picks up during the
transient blocking condition, the blocking action is removed. This is done to cope with
evolving faults when an external fault is followed by an internal fault. Without the zone 1
feedback, the trip is delayed unnecessarily.
Make the delay shorter than the fastest possible trip time for faults on an adjacent line
so that the extended blocking action can be established. Take into account the pickup
time of the reverse-looking elements of the scheme. Also make the delay defined by this
setting not too short in order to avoid locking up a spurious reverse fault indication that
can occur during internal fault conditions.
Transient Block Reset Delay
Range: 0.000 to 65.535 seconds in steps of 0.001
Default: 0.090 seconds
This setting specifies a transient blocking mechanism embedded in the directional
comparison blocking scheme for coping with the exposure of the overreaching
protection functions to current reversal conditions (see also the
setting).
Delay
Make the delay long enough to cope with transient conditions including not only current
reversals but also spurious negative and zero-sequence currents occurring during
breaker operations (in the case when neutral directional or negative-sequence
directional overcurrent functions are used). Breaker failure time of the surrounding
protection systems within the reach of the ground directional function used by the
blocking scheme should be considered to make sure that the ground directional function
is not jeopardized during delayed breaker operations.
Seal-In Delay
Range: 0.000 to 65.535 seconds in steps of 0.001
Default: 0.000 seconds
The operand is produced according to the directional comparison blocking
