  • Page 27: Arc Protection

    Local light detection requires the optional arc light detection hardware. The arc protection can be realized as a stand-alone function in a single REF 610 or as a station-wide arc protection including several REF 610 protection relays. If realized as a station-wide arc protection, different tripping schemes can be selected for the operation of the circuit breakers of the incoming and outgoing feeders.

    Feeder Protection Relay REF 610 1MRS 755535 Technical Reference Manual - ANSI Version Application examples 5.1. Auto-reclose function 5.1.1. Fast tripping and initiation of shot 1 using two protection elements In several applications, such as fuse-saving applications involving down-stream fuses, tripping and initiation of shot 1 should be fast (instantaneous or short-time delayed) and of shot 2 and 3, and definite tripping time delayed.
  • Page 140: Fast Tripping And Initiation Of Shot 1 Using Pickup Signals

    An alternative way to achieve fast tripping and shot initiation (typical for certain countries, such as Finland), is to use pickup signals from protection elements for shot initiation. The AR function of REF 610 can be initiated by the pickup signals from elements 51P and 51N.
  • Page 141: Selecting Adaptive Sequence Length

    Feeder Protection Relay REF 610 1MRS 755535 Technical Reference Manual - ANSI Version Shot initiation by a pickup signal applies only to shot 1, and to definite tripping, i.e. when no more shots are allowed but the network fault has not been cleared. In this case, the AR function will trip the circuit breaker on expiration of AR 51P Pickup Delay and AR 51N Pickup Delay.
