Section 14
Control
Grounding switches are allowed to connect and disconnect grounding of isolated points. Due to
capacitive or inductive coupling there may be some voltage (for example < 40% of rated voltage)
before grounding and some current (for example < 100A) after grounding of a line.
Circuit breakers are usually not interlocked. Closing is only interlocked against running
disconnectors in the same bay, and the bus-coupler opening is interlocked during a busbar
transfer.
The positions of all switching devices in a bay and from some other bays determine the conditions
for operational interlocking. Conditions from other stations are usually not available. Therefore, a
line grounding switch is usually not fully interlocked. The operator must be convinced that the line
is not energized from the other side before closing the grounding switch. As an option, a voltage
indication can be used for interlocking. Take care to avoid a dangerous
loss of a VT secondary voltage, for example, because of a blown fuse.
The switch positions used by the operational interlocking logic are obtained from auxiliary
contacts or position sensors. For each end position (open or closed) a true indication is needed -
thus forming a double indication. The apparatus control function continuously checks its
consistency. If neither condition is high (1 or TRUE), the switch may be in an intermediate position,
for example, moving. This dynamic state may continue for some time, which in the case of
disconnectors may be up to 10 seconds. Should both indications stay low for a longer period, the
position indication will be interpreted as
wrong, and the state is again treated as
In both cases an alarm is sent to the operator. Indications from position sensors shall be self-
checked and system faults indicated by a fault signal. In the interlocking logic, the signals are used

For switches with an individual operation gear per phase, the evaluation must consider possible
phase discrepancies. This is done with the aid of an
apparatus for both open and close indications. Phase discrepancies will result in an unknown
double indication state.
14.4.1 Configuration guidelines
The following sections describe how the interlocking for a certain switchgear configuration can be
realized in the IED by using standard interlocking modules and their interconnections. They also
describe the configuration settings. The inputs for delivery specific conditions (Qx_EXy) are set to
1=TRUE if they are not used, except in the following cases:
• 989_EX2 and 989_EX4 in modules BH_LINE_A and BH_LINE_B
• 152_EX3 in module AB_TRAFO
when they are set to 0=FALSE.
14.4.2 Interlocking for line bay ABC_LINE (3)
14.4.2.1 Application
The interlocking for line bay (ABC_LINE, 3) function is used for a line connected to a double busbar
arrangement with a transfer busbar according to figure 135. The function can also be used for a
