Blocking logic
There are three operation modes in the blocking function. The operation modes are
controlled by the BLOCK input and the global setting in Configuration > System >
Blocking mode which selects the blocking mode. The BLOCK input can be controlled
by a binary input, a horizontal communication input or an internal signal of the
protection relay's program. The influence of the BLOCK input signal activation is
preselected with the global
The
the operation timer is frozen to the prevailing value, but the OPERATE output is not
deactivated when blocking is activated. In the "Block all" mode, the whole function is
blocked and the Timers are reset. In the "Block OPERATE output" mode, the function
operates normally but the OPERATE output is not activated.

4.5.1.7 Application
Overvoltage in a network occurs either due to the transient surges on the network
or due to prolonged power frequency overvoltages. Surge arresters are used to
protect the network against the transient overvoltages, but the relay's protection
function is used to protect against power frequency overvoltages.
The power frequency overvoltage may occur in the network due to contingencies
such as:
• The defective operation of the automatic voltage regulator when the generator is
in isolated operation.
• Operation under manual control with the voltage regulator out of service. A
sudden variation of load, in particular the reactive power component, gives
rise to a substantial change in voltage because of the inherent large voltage
regulation of a typical alternator.
• Sudden loss of load due to the tripping of outgoing feeders, leaving the
generator isolated or feeding a very small load. This causes a sudden rise in
the terminal voltage due to the trapped field flux and overspeed.
If a load sensitive to overvoltage remains connected, it leads to equipment damage.
