Function description
Scheme communication logic for
residual overcurrent protection
15.4.2 Application
To achieve fast fault clearance of ground faults on the part of the line not covered by the
instantaneous step of the residual overcurrent protection, the directional residual overcurrent
protection can be supported with a logic that uses communication channels.
One communication channel is used in each direction, which can transmit an on/off signal if
required. The performance and security of this function is directly related to the transmission
channel speed and security against false or lost signals.
In the directional scheme, information of the fault current direction must be transmitted to the
other line end.
With directional comparison in permissive schemes, a short operate time of the protection
including a channel transmission time, can be achieved. This short operate time enables rapid
autoreclosing function after the fault clearance.
During a single-phase reclosing cycle, the autoreclosing device must block the directional
comparison ground-fault communication scheme.
The communication logic module enables blocking as well as permissive under/overreaching
schemes. The logic can also be supported by additional logic for weak-end infeed and current
reversal, included in the Current reversal and weak-end infeed logic for residual overcurrent
protection (ECRWPSCH, 85) function.
Metallic communication paths adversely affected by fault generated noise may not be suitable for
conventional permissive schemes that rely on signal transmitted during a protected line fault.
