Assignment This working group will investigate issues
pertaining to breaker failure protection which will include : breaker failure mechanisms, fault detectors, breaker failure circuits, effect of bus configurations, effect of multifunction microprocessor relays, and the effect of modern breaker control schemes. Prepare a guide covering the application of breaker failure protection to power circuit breakers.

current If ground current set above unbalance Drop out not delayed by dc offset Use 52a only if no current

Timer Longer than it takes the breaker to
clear a fault Shorter than the Critical Clearing
Time plus some margin. Could be longer for Line to Ground
Faults than for Three Phase Faults

Critical clearing Time Dictated by Transient Stability limit Somewhere between 7 and 30
cycles Results from Stability Study

Circuit Breaker Failure Modes Failure to Trip Failure to Clear

Failure to Trip Contacts do not open after trip
circuit energized. Short or open in Trip coil Mechanical problem with breaker

Failure to Clear Contacts open but fault not
extinguished. Current continues to flow Mechanical or Dielectric problem Why auxiliary switches not reliable

Design Considerations Total Breaker Failure clearing time
should be less than system stability limit.
Independent of type of failure detected
Should operate during loss of dc to breaker
![Page 30: Evolution and Experience: Breaker Failure Protection](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022021923/586786331a28ab68408bd507/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Conclusions BFP should operate only when desired Timer setting should allow adequate
margin between backup breaker clearing and system critical clearing time.
Multiple timers can be used for different types of faults
Use auxiliary contacts as last resort for BFI.

Conclusions Phase current detectors should be set
above load to protect from scheme operating during testing.
Seal in circuits should be used to insure breaker failure scheme does not drop out prematurely
Care should be taken when applying breaker failure to ring bus and breaker and one half .
