1 Introduction

The device can provide six stages of phase overcurrent protection with independent logic. Each
stage can be independently set as definite-time characteristics or inverse-time characteristics. The
dropout characteristics can be set as immediate dropout, definite-time dropout or inverse-time
1
dropout. Users can choose whether it is blocked by the voltage control element, direction control
element, or harmonic control element, users can also choose whether it is controlled by cold load
pickup. The direction control element can be set as no direction, forward direction and reverse
direction. The phase overcurrent protection picks up when the current exceeds the current
threshold value, and operates after a certain time delay, once the fault disappears, the phase
overcurrent protection will dropout.
 Earth Fault Overcurrent Protection (50/51G)
The device can provide six stages of earth fault overcurrent protection with independent logic.
Each stage can be independently set as definite-time characteristics or inverse-time
characteristics. The dropout characteristics can be set as immediate dropout, definite-time dropout
or inverse-time dropout. Users can choose whether it is blocked by the direction control element or
the harmonic control element, users can also choose whether it is controlled by cold load pickup.
The direction control element can be set as no direction, forward direction and reverse direction.
The zero-sequence current used by earth fault overcurrent protection can be calculated
zero-sequence current or the measured zero-sequence current, it can operate to trip or alarm, and
it can be enabled or blocked by the external binary input.
 Another Group of Earth Fault Overcurrent Protection
The device can provide six stages of another group of earth fault overcurrent protection with
independent logic. Each stage can be independently set as definite-time characteristics or
inverse-time characteristics. The dropout characteristics can be set as immediate dropout,
definite-time dropout or inverse-time dropout. The protection fixedly adopts the measured residual
current, the calculated residual current is not supported. It can operate to trip or alarm, it can be
enabled or blocked by the external binary input.
 Negative-sequence Overcurrent Protection (50/51Q)
The device can provide two stages of negative-sequence overcurrent protection with independent
logic. Each stage can be independently set as definite-time characteristics or inverse-time
characteristics. The dropout characteristics can be set as immediate dropout, definite-time dropout
or inverse-time dropout. For a double-circuit or a ring network line, the negative-sequence fault
current may have different flow direction. Considering the protection selectivity, the
negative-sequence overcurrent protection can be blocked by the direction control element.
Negative-sequence overcurrent current can operate to trip or alarm, it can be enabled or blocked
by the external binary input.
 Broken Conductor Protection (46BC)
Broken-conductor fault mainly is single-phase broken or two-phases broken. According to the ratio
of negative-sequence current to positive-sequence current (I2/I1), it is used to judge whether there
is a broken-conductor fault. Negative-sequence current under normal operating condition (i.e.
unbalance current) is due to CT error and unbalance load, so the ratio of negative-sequence
current to positive-sequence current (amplitude) is relative steady. The value with margin can then
be used as the setting of broken conductor protection. It is mainly used to detect broken-conductor
fault and CT circuit failure as well.
 Sensitive Earth Fault Protection (50/51SEF)
The device can provide six stages of sensitive earth fault protection with independent logic. Each
stage can be independently set as definite-time characteristics or inverse-time characteristics. The
dropout characteristics can be set as immediate dropout, definite-time dropout or inverse-time
dropout. Users can choose whether it is blocked by the direction control element. The direction
control element can be set as no direction, forward direction and reverse direction. The
zero-sequence current used by sensitive earth fault protection is the measured zero-sequence
current from the high-precision CT. Sensitive earth fault protection can operate to trip or alarm, it
can be enabled or blocked by the external binary input.

dropout characteristics can be set as immediate dropout or definite-time dropout. RMS overcurrent
current can operate to trip or alarm, it can be enabled or blocked by the external binary input.
 Phase Overvoltage Protection (59P)
The device can provide two stages of phase overvoltage protection with independent logic. When
a high voltage occurs in the system, it is greater than the voltage threshold, phase overvoltage
protection will operate to remove the device from the system after a time delay. In addition, the
overvoltage protection also provides the alarm function, prompting the overvoltage of the system,
it allows users to find the cause timely, and preventing further deterioration of the fault. Each stage
of phase overvoltage protection can be independently set as definite-time characteristics or
inverse-time characteristics. The dropout characteristics can be set as immediate dropout and
definite-time dropout.

 Phase Undervoltage Protection (27P)
The device can provide two stages of phase undervoltage protection with independent logic.
When the voltage drops in the system and it is lower than the voltage threshold, phase
undervoltage protection will operate.
Taking into account that the role of undervoltage protection is to remove the running device from
the system, but in order to prevent that undervoltage protection is always operating when it is not
charged, the breaker closed position check criterion is added, users can choose to detect the
breaker position, current or no-check as the releasing condition for the protection.
In addition, the undervoltage protection also provides the alarm function, prompting the voltage
drop of the system, it allows users to find the cause timely, and preventing further deterioration of
the fault. Each stage of phase undervoltage protection can be independently set as definite-time

characteristics or inverse-time characteristics. The dropout characteristics can be set as


instantaneous dropout and definite-time dropout. 1
Users can select phase voltage or phase-to-phase voltage for the protection calculation.
“1-out-of-3” or “3-out-of-3” logic can be selected for the protection criterion. (1-out-of-3 means any
of three phase voltages, 3-out-of-3 means all three phase voltages).
 Overfrequency Protection (81O)
This device can provide six stages of overfrequency protection. If the system frequency is greater
than the predefined setting, this protection will operate for removing some part of active power
supplies from the system. The overfrequency protection is with independent definite time delay
characteristic and with instantaneous dropout characteristic.
 Underfrequency Protection (81U)
This device provides six stages of underfrequency protection. If the system frequency is less than
the predefined setting, this protection will operate for shedding some part of loads from the system.
The underfrequency protection is with independent definite time delay characteristic and with
instantaneous dropout characteristic.
 Frequency Rate-of-change Protection (81R)
This device can provide six stages of frequency rate-of-change protection. If the system frequency
rate-of-change is greater than the predefined setting, this protection will operate. The frequency
rate-of-change protection is with independent definite time delay characteristic and with
instantaneous dropout characteristic.
 Reverse Power Protection (32R)
This device can provide two stages of reverse power protection. If the reverse power is detected
and it is greater than the predefined setting, the reverse power protection will operate. The reverse
power protection is with independent definite time delay characteristic and with definite time delay
or instantaneous dropout characteristic.
 Cold Load Pickup Logic (CLP)
The cold load pickup (CLP) logic which is included within this relay serves to either inhibit the
selected protective elements for an appointed duration, or to raise the settings of the selected
protective elements. Therefore, it allows the protection settings to be set closer to the load profile
by automatically increasing them following circuit energization. The CLP logic thus provides
stability, whilst maintaining protection during starting.
If the CLP logic is operated, the CLP settings are enabled for the overcurrent protection and the
zero sequence overcurrent protection respectively. After the dropout time delay of the CLP logic
has elapsed, the normal protection settings are applied. And if a fast resetting signal is received,
the normal protection settings are applied after the predefine short resetting time delay.
 Undercurrent Protection (37)
The device can provide one stage of undercurrent protection for tripping purpose or alarm purpose.
For different protected equipment, the single-phase criterion or three-phase criterion can be
selected. The position of circuit breaker, the load current also can be taken as the enabling
conditions for the undercurrent protection. The undercurrent protection is with definite-time
operation characteristic and instantaneous dropout characteristic. Undercurrent protection can
operate to trip or alarm, it can be enabled or blocked by the external binary input.
 Breaker Failure Protection (50BF)
According to the tripping information from the device and the auxiliary information (the current and
the position) of target circuit breaker, breaker failure protection constitutes the criterion to
discriminate whether the target circuit fails to open. If the criterion is confirmed, breaker failure
protection will operate to trip the target circuit breaker with the re-trip time delay, trip it again with
the first time delay and trip the adjacent circuit breakers with the second time delay. As a special
backup protection, breaker failure protection can quickly isolate the fault, reduce the affected

1 Introduction

range by the fault, keep system stability and prevent generators, transformers and other primary
1 equipments from seriously damaged.
 Switch-on-to-Fault Protection (SOTF)
The device can provide one stage of phase overcurrent SOTF protection and one stage of earth
fault overcurrent SOTF protection. The SOTF protection is with definite time delay characteristic
and instantaneous dropout characteristic, users can choose whether it is blocked by the harmonic
control element.
The SOTF protection must be initiated by auto-reclosing signal or the condition that the circuit
breaker is open, the initiating time can be set by the setting. After the acceleration condition is
satisfied, the SOTF protection will operate with a time delay.
In order to improve the reliability, phase overcurrent SOTF protection can select phase voltage
element, phase-to-phase voltage element, zero-sequence voltage element and
negative-sequence voltage element as auxiliary criterion.
 Thermal Overload Protection (49)
The device provides two stages of thermal overload protection, one stage for alarm purpose and
the other stage for trip purpose.
The device provides two thermal overload calculation methods: 1) only calculated by current; 2) for
the scenario with oil temperature measurement function, calculate the temperature difference
between the equipment (such as transformer windings) and the oil, and then plus the oil
temperature measured by the sensor, to obtain the final temperature.
 Arc Flash Protection (50L/NL)
Arc protection is used to protect the medium and low voltage switchgear cabinet. Due to the
compact structure and narrow space of the switchgear cabinet, when two-phase or three-phase
short-circuit fault occurs, it is often accompanied by a strong arcing phenomenon. The arc flash
signal is acquired by an arc sensor installed in the switchgear cabinet, it is combined with the
auxiliary fault current criterion, then the arc flash protection can operate to trip to isolate the fault.
 Current Unbalance Protection (60/50)

Setting, import and export of device parameters.
 Online debugging
Debugging through visual pages and virtual LCD screen.

2.2 Connection to Debugging Computer


On the front panel of the device, there is a multiplex RJ45 port which is the debugging port for
connection to a portable computer. Meanwhile, the CPU plug-in module is equipped with several
Ethernet interfaces which may also be used to communicate with debugging computer.

2.2.1 Via Front RJ45 Port


By default, the IP address of front debugging port is “100.100.100.100” with the subnet mask
“255.255.255.000”. If this address conflicts with any other Ethernet port on CPU module. Through the
device front human-machine interface, please call up the modification menu by pressing the key
combination "◄ + ◄ - ENT" under the default LCD display screen and change the default address.

2.2.2 Via Ethernet Interface on CPU Module


Firstly, a connection between the device and the computer must be established by setting the IP
address and subnet mask of the corresponding interfaces. Configure the IP address and the subnet
mask of corresponding Ethernet interface through MainMenu → Settings → Global Settings →
Comm Settings → General Comm Settings.
The IP addresses and the subnet masks of device PC should be in the same network segment. Take
the second Ethernet interface (LAN2) on CPU module as an example:
Device Debugging PC
IP address [IP_LAN2] = 198.87.96.XXX 198.87.96.102

Subnet mask [Mask_LAN2] = 255.255.255.0 255.255.255.0


LAN enabling setting [En_LAN2] = Enabled
“XXX” can be any value from 0 to 255 except 102.

2.3 Validation of Configuration


To take effect of all kinds of offline configuration work through PCS-Studio, it is necessary to
regenerate the device configuration file (*.devs) and download it to the device. A reboot of device is
obligatory after the download for the validation of any modification.

All function configuration described in the following chapters are offline


tasks, which requires the “file generation, file downloading and device
reboot” process for validation.

2.4 Settings Configuration Via PCS-Studio


Many settings related operation can be realized via click on Project Node → Device Node →
Setting.

Right click on Project Node → Device Node → Setting to select “Export…”, users can export the

settings file.
Right click on Project Node → Device Node → Setting to select “Import…”, users can import the
settings file.
Right click on Project Node → Device Node → Setting to select “Send Setting to Device…”,
users can upload the settings file to the connected device.
Right click on Project Node → Device Node → Setting to select “Read Setting from Device…”,
users can download the settings file from the connected device.
Right click on Project Node → Device Node → Setting to select “Attributes”, users can
configure the maximum number of setting groups in the pop-up dialog.
Settings are classified to two kinds, protection settings and global settings. The device generally
provides 20 protection setting groups to coordinate with the different modes of power system
operation. One of these protection setting groups is assigned to be active. The global settings are
2
shared by all protection setting groups.
Click on Project Node → Device Node → Setting → Global to select a global settings menu or
click on Project Node → Device Node → Setting → GroupX (X=1~20) to select a protection
settings menu, users can configure the corresponding settings in the editing interface. Click the
“Value” column to modify setting values, the newly configured settings can not exceed
corresponding setting range.

The setting is used to configure dual-networks switching, and it means that no dual-networks
switching is created when the setting is set as “0”. The device supports a bond between any two
Ethernet ports, and the bond among three or above Ethernet ports is impermissible.
The devices communicate with SAS by station level network. In order to ensure reliable
communication, dual networks (i.e., network 1 and network 2) are adopted. Another special
communication mode based on dual networks is that Ethernet port 1 and Ethernet port 2 of the
device own the same IP address and MAC address, and network 1 and network 2 are used as hot
standby each other. When both network 1 and network 2 are normal, any of them is used to
communicate between the device and SAS. The device will automatically switch to the other
healthy network when one network is abnormal, which will not affect normal communication.
Taking a CPU module with four Ethernet ports as an example, each bit is corresponding with an
Ethernet port, i.e., Bit0, Bit1, Bit2 and Bit3 are corresponding with Ethernet port 1, Ethernet port 2,
Ethernet port 3 and Ethernet port 4 respectively. If a bond between Ethernet port 1 and Ethernet 2
is created, the setting [Cfg_NetPorts_Bond] is set as “3”. The specific setting is as below.

The switching logic is as below.


 After the device is powered on, network 1 is selected when the link status of both network 1
and network 2 are normal.
 When the link status of network 1 is abnormal, network 2 is selected if network 2 is normal.
 When the link status of network 1 is abnormal, network 1 is kept to work if network 2 is also
abnormal.
 When network 2 is working, network 2 is kept to work even if network 1 has been restored to
normal. The device will be switched to network 1 only if network 2 is abnormal.

Item Description
IRIG-B (RS-485): IRIG-B via RS-485 differential level.
PPS (RS-485): Pulse per second (PPS) via RS-485 differential level.
IRIG-B (Fiber): IRIG-B via optical-fibre interface.
Conventional PPS (Fiber): Pulse per second (PPS) via optical-fibre interface.
IEEE1588 (Fiber): Clock message via IEEE1588.
PPM (DIN): Pulse per minute (PPM) via the binary input [BI_TimeSyn].
PPS (DIN): Pulse per second (PPS) via the binary input [BI_TimeSyn].
SNTP(PTP): Unicast (point to point) SNTP mode via Ethernet network.
SNTP(BC): Broadcast SNTP mode via Ethernet network.
SAS
IEC103: Clock messages through IEC103 protocol.
MODBUS: Clock messages through MODBUS protocol.
If time synchronization function is not needed for the device, this option can be
NoTimeSyn
selected.

1) When “SAS” is selected, if there is no conventional clock synchronization signal, the device
will not send the alarm signal [Alm_TimeSyn]. When “Conventional” mode is selected, if there
is no conventional clock synchronization signal, “SAS” mode will be enabled automatically
with the alarm signal [Alm_TimeSyn] being issued simultaneously.
2) When “NoTimeSyn” mode is selected, the device will not send time synchronization alarm
signal.

The clock message via IEC103 protocol is INVALID when the device
receives the IRIG-B signal through RC-485 port.

3.8.2 Calculation Principle


3.8.2.1 CT Circuit Supervision (CTS)

The purpose of the CT circuit supervision is to detect any abnormality on CT secondary circuit.
When CT secondary circuit is abnormal, the current acquired by the device is not accurate, which
will affect protection functions related to the current. Therefore, it is necessary to monitor the CT
abnormal condition. When CT abnormality is detected, the device shall issue an alarm signal and 3
block the relevant protection functions.
Under normal conditions, CT secondary signal is continuously supervised by detecting the
residual current and voltage. If residual current is larger than the setting [CTS.3I0.Set] whereas
residual voltage is less than the setting [CTS.3U0_Set], and any phase current is less than 0.04In,
CT circuit failure is considered. The concerned protection functions are blocked and an alarm is
issued with the time delay [CTS.t_DPU] and drop out with the time delay [CTS.t_DDO] after CT
circuit is restored to normal condition.
1. [CTS.3I0_Set]
It is the residual current setting of CT circuit supervision function. It should be greater than the
maximum unbalance current. And it should be sensitive enough. Normally it should be less than
the load flow.
2. [CTS.3U0_Set]
It is zero-sequence voltage setting of CT circuit supervision function. It should be greater than the
maximum unbalanced voltage. And it should be sensitive enough.
3. [CTS.t_DPU]
It is pick up time delay for CT Circuit Supervision when CT circuit failure.
4. [CTS.t_DDO]
It is drop off time delay for CT Circuit Supervision when CT circuit failure recovered.
5. [CTS.En]
It is a logic setting, which is used to enable or disable CT circuit supervision function.
3.8.2.2 VT Circuit Supervision (VTS)

The purpose of VT circuit supervision is to detect whether VT circuit is normal. Some protection
functions should be disabled when measurement from VT circuit fails.
VT circuit failure can be caused by many reasons, such as fuse blown due to short-circuit fault,
poor contact of VT circuit, VT maintenance and so on. The device can detect them and issue an

3 Global Settings

alarm signal to block relevant protection functions.


VT circuit supervision can detect failure of single-phase, two-phase and three-phase on VT. Under
normal condition, the device continuously supervises input voltage from VT. The VT circuit failure
alarm will be issued with configurable time delay if residual voltage exceeds or negative voltage
exceeds the threshold value or positive-sequence voltage is less than the threshold value. If a
specific current protection (breaker failure protection for this device) operates to pick up, the time
delay count-down will be paused until the protection returns to normal state.
Under normal conditions, the device detects residual voltage that is greater than the setting
[VTS.3U0_Set] or negative-sequence voltage that is greater than the setting [VTS.U2_Set] to
distinguish a single-phase or two-phase VT circuit failure, and detects positive-sequence voltage
that is less than the setting [VTS.U1_Set] to distinguish a three-phase VT circuit failure. Upon
detecting abnormality on VT circuit, an alarm will come up after a time delay of [VTS.t_DPU] and
drop-off with a time delay of [VTS.t_DDO] after that VT is restored to normal. Upon abnormality
detection on VT circuit, an instant alarm will be issued after a time delay of 25ms and drop-off
without time delay.
VT (secondary circuit) MCB auxiliary contact can be connected to the binary input circuit of the
device as a binary signal. If the MCB has been opened (i.e. [VTS.MCB_VT] is energized), the
device will consider that the VT circuit is in a bad condition and issue an alarm without a time delay.
If the auxiliary contact is not connected to the device, VT circuit supervision will be issued with
time delay as mentioned in previous paragraph.
When VT is not connected into the device, the alarm shall be not issued if the logic setting [En_VT]
is set as "Disabled". However, the alarm is still issued if the binary input [VTS.MCB_VT] is
3 energized, no matter that the logic setting [En_VT] is set as "Disabled" or "Enabled".

For different project, some protection settings may be added or hidden according to users’
requirement, the general settings are introduced in following.

4.1 Basic Parameter Calculation


For the setting calculation in relation to power system operating conditions, it shall base on the
usual operating conditions as its calculation reference. Usual operating conditions usually refer to
normal operating conditions or the maintenance case that adjacent line or a component protected
is out of service. For the system whose operating mode changes greatly, the operating conditions
which setting calculation refers to should be confirmed by dispatching department according to
specific cases.
For all the calculation equations listed in this instruction manual, the results including current,
voltage and impedance are all expressed in the form of secondary actual value, unless it is
specifically mentioned. Setting values of the line protection shall be transformed into secondary
side value before inputting into the relay.
Formulas for converting primary settings to secondary ones are shown as below:
1
 ISEC  I PRIM 
CT ratio
Where:
ISEC is the secondary current setting
IPRIM is the primary current setting
I1n
CT ratio  ( I1n : the rated primary current; I2n : the rated secondary current).
I 2n

 USEC  U PRIM 
VT ratio
Where:
USEC is the secondary voltage setting
UPRIM is the primary voltage setting
U1n
VT ratio 
U 2n
( U1n : the rated primary voltage; U2n : the rated secondary voltage) 4
CT ratio
 ZSEC  ZPRIM 
VT ratio
Where:
Z SEC is the secondary impedance setting
ZPRIM is the primary impedance setting
NOTICE!
All current settings, voltage settings and impedance settings are secondary value
converted from primary value by CT ratio and VT ratio.
Zero-sequence current or voltage settings are configured according to 3I0 or 3U0,
negative-sequence current or voltage settings are configured according to I2 or U2, and
positive-sequence current or voltage settings are configured according to I1 or U1.

4.3.2 Calculation Principle


Earth fault overcurrent protection is provided with six stages, each stage has independent current
setting, time delay and control logic.
1. [50/51G.DIR.RCA]
It is the characteristic angle of directional earth fault element.
By setting the characteristic angle to determine the most sensitive forward angle of zero-sequence
current, using zero-sequence current with zero-sequence voltage to determine the direction of
zero-sequence current in forward direction or reverse direction. For line protection, when the CT
polarity is on the busbar side, the default characteristic angle is 45 degrees.

recommended value is 90 degree.
3. [50/51G.DIR.phi_Max_Fwd]
The maximum boundary of the forward direction element of earth fault overcurrent protection, its
recommended value is 90 degree.

The minimum boundary of the reverse direction element of earth fault overcurrent protection, its
recommended value is 90 degree.
5. [50/51G.DIR.phi_Max_Rev]
The maximum boundary of the reverse direction element of earth fault overcurrent protection, its
recommended value is 90 degree.
6. [50/51G.DIR.I_Min]
The minimum operating current setting for the direction control element of earth fault overcurrent
protection, its recommended value is 0.05In.
7. [50/51G.DIR.U_Min]
The minimum operating voltage setting for the direction control element of earth fault overcurrent
protection, its recommended value is 4V. If the sensitivity of high resistance ground fault need to
be considered, the recommended value is 0.5~2V. If it is necessary to cooperate with other
protection with direction element, it is recommended to be 0.5~1V higher than other protection.
8. [50/51G.En_VTS_Blk]
It is a logic setting, which is used to enable or disable the blocking for earth fault overcurrent
protection during VT circuit abnormal.
When VT circuit fails, earth fault overcurrent protection will be blocked if the setting is set as
“Enabled”, and earth fault overcurrent protection is not controlled by direction element if the setting
is set as “Disabled”.
9. [50/51G.HMB.K_Hm2]
It is the percent setting of the harmonic control element of earth fault overcurrent protection.
When the percentage of the second harmonic component to fundamental component of residual
current is larger than the setting [50/51G.HMB.K_Hm2], harmonic blocking element operates to
block earth fault overcurrent protection if corresponding logic setting [50/51Gx.En_Hm_Blk] is set
as “enabled”.
If second harmonic component of residual current is lower than the minimum operating current
(0.04In) then harmonic calculation is not carried out and harmonic blocking element does not
operate.
Its recommended value is 0.15.
10. [50/51G.HMB.I_Rls]
4
It is the current setting of releasing harmonic blocking function of earth fault overcurrent protection.
It shall be larger than the possible maximum inrush current of the transformer. It is recommended
to be set as 20In.
11. [50/51Gx.Opt_3I0]
The setting is used to select the residual current that used for stage x (x=1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) of earth
fault overcurrent protection.
Ext: the measured residual current
Cal: the calculated residual current
12. [50/51Gx.3I0_Set]
It is the current setting for stage x (x=1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) of earth fault overcurrent protection.
For line protection:
1) When stage x of earth fault overcurrent protection is used as fast protection, the following
conditions should be considered.
 It shall be larger than the maximum residual current under pole disagreement condition.

PCS-9611S Feeder Relay 4-29

4 Protection Settings

 It shall be larger than the maximum residual current when internal fault happens at the end of
the line.
Its calculation principle is
[50/51Gx.3I0_Set]  K rel  3I0.max
Where:
I0.max is the maximum zero-sequence current for an external fault
Krel is the reliability coefficient, it usually takes 1.3 or above
2) When stage x of directional earth fault overcurrent protection is used as definite-time
protection, it should coordinate with the protection of other adjacent line.
 It shall be larger than the maximum residual current under pole disagreement condition.
 It shall coordinate with the measurement element of the adjacent line and ensure enough
sensitivity for the fault happens at the end of the line.
[50/51Gx.3I0_Set]  K rel  K br  I0.Adj

Where:
Krel is the reliability coefficient, it usually takes 1.1~1.3
Kbr is the branching coefficient of residual current, which is equal to the ratio of residual current
passing through the device to passing through the faulty line during an earth fault happens at the
end of the protected zone of the coordinated stage of earth fault overcurrent protection of the line.
The maximum value among various operation conditions can be taken.
I0.Adj is the current setting of the coordinated stage of the adjacent line
3) When the earth fault overcurrent protection is used as standby protection for earth fault of this
line through resistor and earth fault of adjacent elements, and its primary current value should
not be more than 300A. Under the condition of avoidance from the maximum unbalance
current of three-phase short circuit at other sides of the transformer at the end of this line, it is

9. [50/51Qx.I2_Set]
It is the current setting for stage x (x=1, 2) of negative-sequence overcurrent protection.
For line protection:
When two-phase short circuit fault happens, the following formula is satisfied.
1 (3)
I 2(2)  I

Where:

I 2(2) is the negative-sequence component of the two-phase short-circuit current;


I (3) is the three-phase short-circuit current;
For the line protection, only when the pickup current of the negative-sequence overcurrent
element is equal to 0.5 times of the pickup setting of phase overcurrent element fixedly, the
relative sensitivity coefficient of two-phase short circuit is equal to 1. During the setting calculation,
the coordination of sensitivity can be carried out only according to the three-phase short circuit and
the overcurrent protection with adjacent lines.
The setting of negative-sequence overcurrent protection can be referred to the phase overcurrent
setting.

Where:
I L.max is the maximum value of three-phase short circuit current of this line;

Kn
is the negative-sequence coefficient, it can be taken as 0.5.
10. [50/51Qx.t_Op]
It is the time delay for stage x (x=1, 2) of negative-sequence overcurrent protection.
For line protection:
It should be identical with the time delay setting of the phase overcurrent protection. 4
For phase overcurrent protection and negative sequence overcurrent protection, if a fault happens
at the same point, the protection with high sensitivity and short operating time will take precedence
to trip.

default value is 0.

This setting is valid when definite-time drop-out characteristic is selected. When I 2 <0.95* I 2 p ,
the protection drops out with a time delay of tdr (i.e. the value of the setting

Only when the setting [50/51Qx.Opt_Curve] is set as “UserDefine”, i.e. the user-defined
inverse-time characteristic is selected, the settings [50/51Qx.K], [50/51Qx.C] and [50/51Qx.Alpha]
are useful, the inverse-time operating curve is determined by the three settings.
16. [50/51Qx.Opt_Curve_Drop-out]
It is used to select the inverse-time drop-out characteristic curve of stage x (x=1, 2) of
negative-sequence overcurrent protection.
Inst: instantaneous drop-out
DefTime: definite-time drop-out
IDMT: inverse-time drop-out
When the operating curve is selected as definite-time, IEC inverse-time or user-defined
inverse-time characteristic, the drop-out characteristic can only be selected as instantaneous
drop-out or definite-time drop-out, if inverse-time drop-out is selected, the alarm signal
"Fail_Settings" will be issued and the device will be blocked.
When the operating curve is selected as ANSI inverse-time characteristic, the drop-out
characteristic can be selected as instantaneous drop-out, definite-time drop-out and ANSI
inverse-time drop-out.
 Instantaneous drop-out 4
When I 2 <0.95* I 2 p , the protection drops out immediately.
 Definite-time drop-out
When I 2 <0.95* I 2 p , the protection drops out with a time delay of tdr (i.e. the value of the setting
[50/51Qx.t_Drop-out]), and the drop-out characteristic curve is shown in the following figure:

4.5.2 Calculation Principle


Overvoltage protection is provided with two stages, each stage has independent current setting,
time delay and control logic.
1. [59P.Opt_Up/Upp]
It is used to select phase-to-phase voltage or phase voltage.
Up: phase-to-ground voltage
Upp: phase-to-phase voltage

4 Protection Settings

2. [59P.Opt_1P/3P]
It is used to select 1-out-of-3 mode or 3-out-of-3 mode.
3P: 3-out-of-3 mode
1P: 1-out-of-3 mode
When this setting is set as “1P”, overvoltage protection will operate if any phase voltage or
phase-to-phase voltage is over voltage. When this setting is set as “3P”, overvoltage protection will
operate only if three-phase voltages or three phase-to-phase voltages are over voltage.
3. [59Px.U_Set]
It is the voltage setting for stage x (x=1, 2) of overvoltage protection.
This setting should be set according to the actual isolation requirements of the system equipment.
This setting should also be set according to the logic setting [59P.Opt_Up/Upp]. If the setting
[59P.Opt_Up/Upp] is set as "Upp", then phase-to-phase voltage will be used for calculation,
[59Px.U_Set] should be set as phase-to-phase voltage. If the setting [59P.Opt_Up/Upp] is set as
"Up", then phase-to-ground voltage will be used for calculation, [59Px.U_Set] should be set as
phase-to-ground voltage.
Generally, it shall be set according to the affordability of the protected equipment:
 For definite-time charactertistic
[59Px.U_Set] (1.1~1.5)U n
Where:
Un: the secondary rated voltage.
Application example:
If the operating criterion adopts phase-to-phase voltage, Un=110V, 1.3 times Un is assigned for
overvoltage protection. The setting will be given as below:
[59P.Opt_Up/Upp]=Upp
[59Px.U_Set]=143V
If the operating criterion adopts phase-to-ground voltage, Un=63.5V, 1.3 times of Un is assigned
for overvoltage protection. The setting will be given as below:
[59P.Opt_Up/Upp]=Up
4
[59Px.U_Set]=82.55V
 For inverse-time characteristic
If inverse-time characteristic is selected, the setting should be configured as follows.

[59Px.U_Set]  K rel U max


Where:

K rel is the reliability coefficient, it can be taken as 1.05~1.1.


U max is the minimum voltage under which the protected equipment can operate for a long term. If
the operating criterion adopts phase-to-phase voltage, the U max is the phase-to-phase voltage,
otherwise it is the phase-to-ground voltage.
4. [59Px.K_Drop-out]
It is the drop-out coefficient of stage x (x=1, 2) of phase overvoltage protection.
Its recommended value is 0.98.

It is time delay for stage x (x=1, 2) of overvoltage protection.
It shall be set according to the affordability of the protected equipment, and its recommended
value is 0.3s~1s.
6. [59Px.t_Drop-out]
The drop-out time setting of stage x (x=1, 2) of phase overvoltage protection.
This setting is valid when definite-time drop-out characteristic is selected. When U
<[59Px.K_Drop-out]* Up , the protection drops out with a time delay of tdr (i.e. the value of the

8. [59Px.Opt_Trp/Alm]
It is a logic setting, which is used to enable stage x (x=1, 2) of phase overvoltage protection

4.7.2 Calculation Principle


Undervoltage protection is provided with two stages, each stage has independent current setting,
time delay and control logic.
1. [27P.Opt_Up/Upp]
It is used to select phase-to-phase voltage or phase-to-ground voltage as voltage criterion for
undervoltage protection.
Up: phase-to-ground voltage
Upp: phase-to-phase voltage
2. [27P.Opt_1P/3P]
It is used to select 1-out-of-3 mode or 3-out-of-3 mode for undervoltage protection.
3P: 3-out-of-3 mode
1P: 1-out-of-3 mode
When this setting is set as “1P”, undervoltage protection will operate if any phase-to-ground
voltage or phase-to-phase voltage is under voltage. When this setting is set as “3P”, undervoltage

protection will operate only if three phase-to-ground voltages or three phase-to-phase voltages are
under voltage.
3. [27P.Opt_LogicMode]
The breaker closed position check mode is configured via the setting [27P.Opt_LogicMode], it
includes:
[27P.Opt_LogicMode]=None: no-check;
[27P.Opt_LogicMode]=Curr: check the current;
[27P.Opt_LogicMode]=CBPos: check the breaker position;
[27P.Opt_LogicMode]=CurrAndCBPos: check the current and the breaker position;
[27P.Opt_LogicMode]=CurrOrCBPos: check the current or the breaker position.
The breaker position means the closed position of the breaker.
Select the check mode according to the actual situation on site. When the load current is relatively
fixed and is larger than 0.04In, the current criterion is recommended, such as the capacitor and
reactor load. Otherwise, the breaker position criterion is recommended.
When the breaker position can be acquired, and the load current is also larger than 0.04In,
comprehensive criterion can also be used.
For the case the incoming line breaker have been tripped and the busbar loses voltage,
low-voltage protection is still desired to operate at this time, the breaker position criterion needs to
be selected.
4. [27Px.U_Set]
It is the voltage setting for stage x (x=1, 2) of undervoltage protection.
This setting should be set according to the actual stability level of power system, but it should
ensure enough sensitivity for a fault at the end of the line and not be larger than the minimum
operation voltage under normal conditions. This setting should also be set according to the setting
[27Px.Opt_Up/Upp]. If the setting [27Px.Opt_Up/Upp] is set as "Upp", then phase-to-phase
voltage will be used for calculation, [27Px.U_Set] should be set as phase-to-phase voltage. If the
setting [27Px.Opt_Up/Upp] is set as "Up", then phase-to-ground voltage will be used for
calculation, [27Px.U_Set] should be set as phase-to-ground voltage.
Application example:
4
If the operating criterion adopts phase-to-phase voltage, Un=110V, 70% of Un is assigned for
undervoltage protection. The setting will be given as below:
[27Px.Opt_Up/Upp]=Upp
[27Px.U_Set]=77V
If the operating criterion adopts phase-to-ground voltage, Un=63.5V, 70% of Un is assigned for
undervoltage protection. The setting will be given as below:
[27Px.Opt_Up/Upp]=Up
[27Px.U_Set]=44.45V
5. [27Px.K_Drop-out]
It is the drop-out coefficient of stage x (x=1, 2) of phase undervoltage protection.
Its recommended value is 1.03.
6. [27Px.t_Op]
It is the time delay for stage x (x=1, 2) of undervoltage protection.
It shall be set according to the voltage control strategy.

Its recommended value is 0.
8. [27Px.En_VTS_Blk]
It is a logic setting, which is used to enable or disable stage (x=1, 2) x of undervoltage protection
controlled by VT circuit failure.
When the setting [27Px.En_VTS_Blk] is set as “Enabled”, undervoltage protection will be blocked
if VT circuit fails.
9. [27Px.En]
It is a logic setting, which is used to enable or disable stage x (x=1, 2) of undervoltage protection.
10. [27Px.Opt_Trp/Alm]
It is a logic setting, which is used to enable stage x (x=1, 2) of phase undervoltage protection
operate to trip or alarm.

Undervoltage protection can operate with a definite-time limit, it can also operate with an
inverse-time limit. Undervoltage protection can support definite-time limit, IEC & ANSI standard
inverse time limit and user-defined inverse-time limit, users can select the wanted operating curve
by the setting [27Px.Opt_Curve], the relationship between the value of the setting and the curve is
shown in the table below.

When the setting [27Px.Opt_Curve] is set as “InvTime_U”, the operation characteristic is the
corresponding selected operating curve type, and the settings [27Px.K], [27Px.C] and [27Px.Alpha]
are useless.
When the setting [27Px.Opt_Curve] is set as “UserDefine”, i.e. the user-defined inverse-time
characteristic is selected, the inverse-time operating curve is determined by the settings [27Px.K],
[27Px.C] and [27Px.Alpha].
When the setting [27Px.Opt_Curve] is set as “ANSIDefTime” or “IECDefTime”, it is definite-time
undervoltage protection.
12. [27Px.Opt_Curve_Drop-out]
It is the setting for selecting the inverse-time drop-out characteristic curve of stage x (x=1, 2) of
phase undervoltage protection.
Inst: instantaneous drop-out
DefTime: definite-time drop-out
 Instantaneous drop-out
When U >[27Px.K_Drop-out]* Up , the protection drops out immediately.
 Definite-time drop-out
When U >[27Px.K_Drop-out]* Up , the protection drops out with a time delay of tdr (i.e. the value
of the setting [27Px.t_Drop-out]), and the drop-out characteristic curve is shown in the following

4.8.2 Calculation Principle


Overfrequency protection is provided with six stages, each stage has independent current setting,
time delay and control logic.
1. [81.Upp_Blk]
When any phase-to-phase voltage is lower than the setting [81.Upp_Blk], the overfrequency
protection will be blocked.
This setting should be set according to the phase-to-phase voltage. Its recommended value is
0.7Unn (Unn is rated phase-to-phase voltage).
2. [81Ox.f_Set]
It is the frequency setting for stage x (x=1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) of overfrequency protection.
All stages can be set based on the same graduation. After rejecting some power supplies and
each stage operating, the system frequency should be restored near the rated frequency. Because
compound mode of generators (hydroelectric, thermal power, nuclear power with different capacity
and proportion, different adaptability to abnormal frequency), system structure and operation
mode are different in different power system, they should be set according to the system
frequency and stability control strategy.
3. [81Ox.t_Op]
It is the time delay for stage x (x=1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) of overfrequency protection.
It shall be set according to the system frequency and stability control strategy.

4.10.2 Calculation Principle


1. [50BF.I_Set]
It is the current setting of phase current criterion for breaker failure protection.
The setting shall be larger than the capacitor current when the line is energized without any load,
and it can ensure the enough sensitivity (the sensitivity coefficient should be not less than 1.3) and
it also should be larger than the load current under normal operation situation of the line.

4 2. [50BF.3I0_Set]
It is the current setting of zero-sequence current criterion for breaker failure protection.
Taking into account that the faulty current is too small for generator or transformer fault, the
sensitivity of phase current element may not meet the requirement, zero-sequence current
criterion and negative-sequence current criterion are provided in addition to the phase overcurrent
element for breaker failure protection initiated by input signal [50BF.ExTrp3P_GT] from generator
and transformer protection. They can be enabled or disabled by the settings [50BF.En_3I0_3P]
and [50BF.En_I2_3P] respectively.
The setting [50BF.3I0_Set] shall be greater than the maximum unbalance residual current (3I0)
under normal operation condition.
3. [50BF.I2_Set]
It is the current setting of negative-sequence current criterion for breaker failure protection.
The setting [50BF.I2_Set] shall be greater than the maximum negative-sequence unbalance
current (I2) under normal operation condition.
4. [50BF.t_ReTrp]
It is the re-tripping time delay of breaker failure protection.
This setting defines the time delay of re-tripping for breaker failure protection, generally it is set as

5ms.
5. [50BF.t1_Op]
It is the first time delay of breaker failure protection.
When both phase-segregated tripping contact from line protection and corresponding phase
overcurrent element operate, or both three-phase tripping contact and any phase overcurrent
element operate, breaker failure protection will send three-phase tripping command to trip local
circuit breaker after the time delay of [50BF.t1_Op]. The time setting [50BF.t1_Op] should be set
as short as possible on the premise that the protection selectivity is ensured. The time setting is
calculated according to following formula.

[50BF.t1_Op]  t0  tB  t
Where:
t0 is the circuit breaker operation time, generally it is taken as 0.03~0.06s.
tB is the drop off time of the operation element, generally it is taken as 0.02~0.04s.
Δt is the safety time, generally it is taken as 0.05s.
6. [50BF.t2_Op]
It is the second time delay of breaker failure protection.
When both phase-segregated tripping contact from line protection and corresponding phase
overcurrent element operate, or both three-phase tripping contact and any phase overcurrent
element operate, breaker failure protection will send three-phase tripping command to trip all
adjacent circuit breakers after the time delay of [50BF.t2_Op].

[50BF.t2_Op]  t0  tB  t
Where:
t0 is the circuit breaker operation time, generally it is taken as 0.03~0.06s.
tB is the drop off time of the operation element, generally it is taken as 0.02~0.04s.
Δt is the safety time, generally it is taken as 0.05s.
NOTICE!
The stage of breaker failure protection with the time delay of [50BF.t1_Op] will only trip 4
local circuit breaker, and the stage with the time delay of [50BF.t2_Op] will trip all
adjacent circuit breakers.
7. [50BF.En]
It is a logic setting, which is used to enable or disable breaker failure protection.
8. [50BF.En_ReTrp]
It is a logic setting, which is used to enable or disable re-trip function for breaker failure protection.
The instantaneous re-tripping function, after receiving tripping signal from other device and the
corresponding phase overcurrent element operating, is available and provides phase-segregated
binary output contact, which can ensure the circuit breaker is still tripped in case the secondary
circuit between the device and the circuit breaker is abnormal.
9. [50BF.En_t1]
It is a logic setting, which is used to enable or disable the first time delay of breaker failure
protection.
10. [50BF.En_t2]
It is a logic setting, which is used to enable or disable the second time delay of breaker failure
protection.

It is a logic setting, which is used to enable or disable breaker failure protection be initiated by
normally closed contact of circuit breaker.
For some special fault (for example, overvoltage protection operating), maybe the faulty current is
very small and current criterion of breaker failure protection is not met, in order to make breaker
failure protection can also operate under the above situation, an input signal [50BF.ExTrp_WOI] is
equipped to initiate breaker failure protection, once the input signal is energized, normally closed
auxiliary contact of circuit breaker is chosen in addition to breaker failure current check to trigger
breaker failure timer. The device takes current as priority with CB auxiliary contact (52b) as an
option criterion for breaker failure check.
15. [50BF.En_Alm_Init]
It is a logic setting, which is used to enable or disable abnormality check function of breaker failure
initiating signal. The breaker failure initiating signals will be invalid when it lasts more than 10s if
this setting is set as “enabled”.

N-3AR: the reclosing number of 3-pole AR
2. [79.t_Dd_3PS1]
It is the dead time of first shot 3-pole reclosing.
This setting is used to set the dead time of first shot 3-pole reclosing. The setting should be set
according to system stability requirement, arc-extinguishing of instantaneous fault and insulation
recovery ability should also be considered. In addition, possibility for two-side protection (double
power supply) to cut off fault with different time limit should be taken into consideration.
3. [79.t_Dd_3PS2]
It is the dead time of second shot 3-pole reclosing.
4. [79.t_Dd_3PS3]
It is the dead time of third shot 3-pole reclosing.
5. [79.t_Dd_3PS4]
It is the dead time of fourth shot 3-pole reclosing.
6. [79.t_CBClsd]
It is the time delay of circuit breaker in closed position before reclosing.
It is the minimum time delay for circuit breaker in closed position before AR gets ready. The
duration of the circuit breaker in closed position before fault occurrence is not less than the setting
[79.t_CBClsd] for a successful reclosing.
The default value is 5s.
7. [79.t_CBReady]
It is the time delay to wait for CB healthy, and begin to timing when the input signal
[79.CB_Healthy] is de-energized and if it is not energized within this time delay, AR will be
blocked.
The input signal [79.CB_Healthy] must be energized before auto-reclosure gets ready. Because
most circuit breakers can finish one complete process: open-closed-open, it is necessary that
4 circuit breaker has enough energy before reclosing. When the dead time delay of AR is exhausted,
if the input signal [79.CB_Healthy] is still not energized within time delay [79.t_CBReady], AR will
be blocked. If this function is not required, the input signal [79.CB_Healthy] can be not to configure,
and its state will be thought as “1” by default.
8. [79.t_Wait_Chk]
It is the maximum wait time for synchronism check.
The setting is the maximum allowable time used for synchronism check. In case the synchronism check
is unsuccessful after exceeding this setting, the auto-reclosing will be blocked.
9. [79.t_Reclaim]
It is the reclaim time of AR.
The reset time of circuit breaker after auto-reclosing operation. With the assignment of the close

command, the automatic reclosing function goes into the reclaim time state. During this time, it is

decided if the current reclosing cycle was successful or not.

 If during the reclaim time no further tripping occurs, the currently running automatic reclosing
cycle was successful.

 If during the reclaim time another tripping occurred, the currently running automatic reclosing
cycle was not successful. If other automatic reclosing cycles are permitted, one of these
cycles will be used to continue the process. In contrast, if the currently executed cycle was the
last permissible cycle, the automatic reclosing process will end and be reported as
unsuccessful.
10. [79.t_DDO_BlkAR]
It is the drop-off time delay of blocking AR, when blocking signal for AR disappears, AR blocking
condition drops off after this time delay.
AR will be blocked immediately once the blocking condition of AR appears, and the blocking
condition of AR will drop off with a time delay [79.t_DDO_BlkAR] after blocking signal disappears.
11. [79.t_PersistTrp]
It is the time delay of excessive trip signal to block auto-reclosing.
When there is a fault on an overhead line, the concerned circuit breakers will be tripped normally.
After fault is cleared, the tripping command will drop off immediately. In case the circuit breaker is
in failure, etc., and the tripping signal of the circuit breaker maintains and in excess of the time
delay [79.t_PersistTrp], AR will be blocked. This setting should be longer than the longest tripping
time of circuit breaker plus safety margin.
The default value is 0.2s.
12. [79.t_Fail]
It is the time delay allow for CB status change to conform reclosing successful.
The setting is the time delay from reclosing command sent to unsuccessful reclosing, which shall
be greater than the reclosing operation time of circuit breaker. This time will be valid if logic
setting if the setting [79.En_FailCheck] is set as "Enabled".
 If during the time CB is closed, the currently running automatic reclosing cycle was
successful.
 If during the time CB remains open, the currently running automatic reclosing cycle was not
successful, the automatic reclosing process will end and be reported as fail.
If the reclosing is considered as unsuccessful, the device will issue a signal (79.Fail_Rcls) to
indicate that the reclosing is unsuccessful. AR will not enter into the ready state unless the circuit
breaker position drops off, and can only begin to enter into the ready state again after the circuit
breaker is closed.

13. [79.t_PW]
It is the pulse width of AR closing signal
The setting shall be set according to actual requirements, if no tripping latch circuit, then the value
should be greater than the reclosing time of circuit breaker.
For the circuit breaker without anti-pump interlock, a logic setting [79.En_CutPulse] is available to
control the reclosing pulse. When this function is enabled, if the device operates to trip during
reclosing, the reclosing pulse will drop off immediately, so as to prevent multi-shot reclosing onto
fault.
14. [79.En_FailCheck]
It is a logic setting, which is used to enable or disable confirm whether AR is successful by
checking CB state.
Whether the reclosing is successful or fail can be implemented by checking of CB states. If
[79.En_FailCheck] is set as “Enabled”, confirmation for AR success by CB state checking is
enabled. If [79.En_FailCheck] is set as “Disabled”, confirmation for AR success by CB state
checking is disabled.

5.2 Synchronism Check Settings


The purpose of synchronism check is to ensure two systems are synchronous before they are going to
be connected.
When two asynchronous systems are connected together, due to phase difference between the two
systems, larger impact will be led to the system during closing. Thus, closing operation is applied with
the synchronism check to avoid this situation and maintain the system stability. The synchronism check
includes synchro-check and dead charge check.

5.2.2 Calculation Principle


5.2.2.1 Synchro-check

The comparative relationship between the reference voltage and the synchronization voltage for
5
synchro-check is as follow. Furthermore, the measured three-phase voltages for synchro-check
should not exceed the overvoltage threshold [25.U_OV] or lag the undervoltage threshold
[25.U_UV].

Figure 5.2-1 Relationship between reference and synchronous voltages


This figure shows the characteristics of synchro-check element used for CB closing if both
reference and synchronous sides are live. The element operates if the voltage difference,
frequency difference, frequency variation difference and phase angle difference are all within their
setting ranges.
 The voltage difference between the reference side and the synchronous side is checked by
the following equation
|U_Ref- U_Syn| ≤ [25.U_Diff_Set]
 The frequency difference between the reference side and the synchronous side is checked by
the following equation
|f(U_Ref)-f(U_Syn)| ≤ [25.f_Diff_Set]
 The frequency variation is checked by the following equation
df/dt ≤ [25.df/dt_Set]
 The phase difference between the reference voltage and the synchronization voltage is
checked by the following equation
∆δ ≤ [25.phi_Diff_Set]
5.2.2.2 Dead Charge Check

The dead charge check mode checks either the reference side or the synchronization voltage.
Several dead charge check modes are supported in using the setting [25.Opt_Mode_DdChk]. The
device compares the reference side and the synchronization voltages at both ends of a circuit
breaker with the settings [25.U_LvChk] and [25.U_DdChk]. When the voltage is higher than
[25.U_LvChk], the corresponding side is regarded as live. When the voltage is lower than
[25.U_DdChk], the corresponding side is regarded as dead.

5.3.2 Calculation Principle


A double point status (DPS) can be derived from 2 ordinary binary inputs. The signification of a
DPS is shown in the following table. For switchgear status, only the 2 statuses "01" and "10"
indicating respectively the positions opening and closing are valid. The other 2 statuses "00" and
"11", i.e. intermediate or bad status, will cause the alarm "DPS.Alm".

DPS Bit0 = 0 Bit0 = 1

Bit1 = 0 DPS_INT DPS_OFF

For the convenient use in user-defined logic programming, this functional module derives four
single-bit outputs to indicate each DPS state.

5.4 Control Settings


The switchgear control function is mainly used to realize operation of primary equipment such as
circuit breaker (CB), disconnect switch (DS) and earthing switch (ES).
The switchgear control function can cooperate with functions such as synchronism check and
interlocking criteria calculation to complete the output of the corresponding operation command. It
can realize the normal control output in one bay and the interlocking and programmable logic
configuration between bays.

The interlocking function will influence the control operation output. When the function is enabled,
the device determines whether the control operation is permitted based on the interlocking logic
result. Each control object is equipped with an independent interlocking logic which supports
unlocking operation through a binary signal.
