Protection Application Example

380 kV OHL

2109A Transient Block.: duration external flt: The transient blocking, also referred to
as current reversal guard, is required with the POTT scheme if parallel
circuits are present. During clearance of a fault on the parallel circuit, the fault
current may reverse on the protected circuit. To avoid operation of the POTT
scheme under these conditions, the transient blocking times are applied.
To ensure that transient blocking is only activated by external faults, it only
starts following reverse fault detection for this time which is set to 80% of the
fastest fault clearance on the parallel circuit (including CB operation).

Tw = 0.8 ⋅ (Tcircuit _ brea ker + Trelay _ parallel _ line _ min − Trelay _ protected _ line _ max )
Tw = 0.8 ⋅ (60ms + 10ms − 20ms)
Tw = 40ms

The setting 0.04 sec is applied.

2110A Transient Block.:Blk. T after ext. flt: Following clearance of the external fault,
the transient blocking condition must be maintained until both line ends
securely detect the new fault condition. For this purpose the relay pickup time
(re-orientation) and channel delay time must be considered.

Tb = 1.2 ⋅ (Tchannel _ delay + Trelay _ re −orientation )

Tb = 1.2 ⋅ (20ms + 20ms)
Tw = 48ms

The setting 0.05 sec is applied.

14. Weak Infeed (Trip and/or Echo) – Setting Group A

Figure 39: Weak Infeed settings

2501 Weak Infeed function is: When the POTT teleprotection scheme is used, the
weak infeed function can be applied for fast fault clearance at both line ends
even if one line end has very weak or no infeed. The weak infeed function
must be activated at the line end where a weak infeed can occur. If a strong
infeed is assured at all times, this function can be switched off. The function
may also be used to only send an echo back to the strong infeed so that it
