Start auto reclosing from circuit breaker open information

If a user wants to initiate auto reclosing from the circuit breaker open position
instead of from protection trip signals, the function offers such a possibility. This
starting mode is selected with the setting parameter StartByCBOpen=On. Typically
a circuit breaker auxiliary contact of type NO (normally open) is connected to
CBCLOSED and START. When the signal changes from circuit breaker closed to
circuit breaker open an auto reclosing start pulse is generated and latched in the
function, subject to the usual checks. The auto reclosing sequence continues then as
usual. Signals from manual tripping and other functions, which shall prevent auto
reclosing, need to be connected to the INHIBIT input.
Blocking of the auto recloser
Auto reclose attempts are expected to take place only for faults on the own line.
The auto recloser must be blocked by activating the INHIBIT input for the
following conditions:
• Tripping from delayed distance protection zones
• Tripping from back-up protection functions
• Tripping from breaker failure function
• Intertrip received from remote end circuit breaker failure function
• Busbar protection tripping
Depending of the starting principle (general trip or only instantaneous trip) adopted
above the delayed and back-up zones might not be required. Breaker failure trip
local and remote must however always be connected.
Control of the auto reclosing dead time for shot 1
Up to four different time settings can be used for the first shot, and one extension
time. There are separate settings for single-, two- and three-phase auto reclosing
dead time, t1 1Ph, t1 2Ph, t1 3Ph. If no particular input signal is applied, and an
auto reclosing program with single-phase auto reclosing is selected, the auto
reclosing dead time t1 1Ph will be used. If one of the TR2P or TR3P inputs is
activated in connection with the start, the auto reclosing dead time for two-phase or
three-phase auto reclosing is used. There is also a separate time setting facility for
three-phase high-speed auto reclosing without synchrocheck, t1 3PhHS, available
for use when required. It is activated by the STARTHS input.
A time extension delay, tExtended t1, can be added to the dead time delay for the
first shot. It is intended to come into use if the communication channel for
permissive line protection is lost. In a case like this there can be a significant time
difference in fault clearance at the two line ends, where a longer auto reclosing
dead time can be useful. This time extension is controlled by the setting Extended
t1 = On and the PLCLOST input. If this functionality is used the auto recloser start
must also be allowed from distance protection zone 2 time delayed trip. Time
