Switch on to fault (SOTF-OC)
The switch-onto-fault function (SOTF-OC) is used to detect and rapidly clear faults when
circuit breakers (CBs) are closed onto a pre-existing fault in the protected zone. If a circuit
breaker is closed onto a permanent fault, the memory circuit in the IED will be unable to
memorize the voltage data required to retain the pre-fault values. This is because the voltage
input to distance measuring elements is absent continuously prior to and after the fault
particularly with voltage transformers installed on the line side; as a result, the fault cannot
be detected by conventional standard protection functions. Therefore, in order to avoid such
failures, SOTF-OC is applied so that the fault can be detected for a specific period following
the closure of the CB.

Note: The implementation of particular features is dependent upon the selection of
hardware and the configuration of functions. Several IED models do not support certain
features. To determine whether a particular feature has been implemented within an IED,
identify the IED ordering number; and check the order number for the "G&T position" whilst
