1 Breaker failure protection function

1.1 Application After a protection function generates a trip command, it is expected that the circuit breaker opens and/or the fault current drops below the pre-defined normal level. If not, then an additional trip command must be generated for all backup circuit breakers to clear the fault. At the same time, if required, a repeated trip command can be generated to the circuit breaker(s) which are expected to open. The breaker failure protection function can be applied to perform this task.

1.2 Mode of operation The starting signal of the breaker failure protection function is usually the trip command of any other protection function. The user has the task to define these starting signals using the graphic equation editor as the “General Start” (BRF50_GenSt_GrO_), or if the operation of the individual phases is needed, then the start signals for the phases individually. The phase start signals are: “Start L1” (BRF50_StL1_GrO_), “Start L2” (BRF50_StL2_GrO_) and “Start L3” (BRF50_StL3_GrO_). Dedicated timers start at the rising edge of the start signals, one for the backup trip command and one for the repeated trip command, separately for operation in the individual phases. During the running time of the timers the function optionally monitors the currents, the closed state of the circuit breakers or both, according to the user’s choice. The selection is made using the enumerated parameter BRF50_Oper_EPar_ (Operation). If this parameter setting is “Current”, the current limit values BRF50_StCurrPh_IPar_ (Start current Ph) and BRF50_StCurrN_IPar_ (Start current N) must be set correctly. The binary inputs indicating the status of the circuit breaker poles have no meaning. If this parameter setting is “Contact”, the current limit values BRF50_StCurrPh_IPar_ (Start current Ph) and BRF50_StCurrN_IPar_ (Start current N) have no meaning. The binary inputs indicating the status of the circuit breaker poles must be programmed correctly using the graphic equation editor. The input variables to be programmed are: BRF50_CBClL1_GrO_ (CB closed L1), BRF50_CBClL2_GrO_ (CB closed L2) and BRF50_CBClL3_GrO_ (CB closed L3). If this parameter setting is “Current/Contact”, the current parameters and the status signals must be set correctly. The breaker failure protection function resets only if all conditions for faultless state are fulfilled. If at the end of the running time of the backup timer the currents do not drop below the pre-defined level, and/or the monitored circuit breaker is still in closed position, then a backup trip command is generated in the phase(s) where the timer(s) run off. The time delay is defined using the parameter BRF50_BUDel_TPar_ (Backup Time Delay). If repeated trip command is to be generated for the circuit breakers that are expected to open, then the enumerated parameter BRF50_ReTr_EPar_ (Retrip) must be set to “On”. In this case, at the end of the timer(s) the delay of which is set by the timer parameter BRF50_TrDel_TPar_ (Retrip Time Delay), a repeated trip command is also generated. The pulse duration of the trip command is not shorter than the time defined by setting the parameter BRF50_Pulse_TPar_ (Pulse length). The breaker failure protection function can be enabled or disabled by setting the parameter BRF50_Oper_EPar_ (Operation) to “Off”.



Dynamic blocking is possible using the binary input BRF50_Blk_GrO_ (Block). The conditions are to be programmed by the user, using the graphic equation editor.

1.3 The decision logic (Decision logic) The decision logic module combines status signals, binary and enumerated parameters to generate the dead line or live line status signals. Binary status signals The breaker failure protection function has binary input signals. The conditions are defined by the user, applying the graphic equation editor. The binary input status signals of the breaker failure protection function are listed in Table 1-1.
