To which zone will the

In which conditions will the
coupler current be assigned
???
the coupler current will

be assigned to zone 1 and
zone 2, if
- the CB is closed
BBP_basics_3 / 2003-04-01 / RW
- the CB close command is active

- there is no active tripping signal

the feeder current will be

assigned to the zones
depending on the isolator
positions. If
BBP_basics_3 / 2003-04-01 / RW
- isolator BB1 is closed to Zone 1

- isolator BB2 is closed to Zone 2

Supervision of Isolator Position
BBP_basics_3 / 2003-04-01 / RW
What is essential for

the current assignment
???

it must be guaranteed that the position of
the isolators is correct
If not, there is a risk of maloperation !!!
BBP_basics_3 / 2003-04-01 / RW
therefore a supervision must be integrated

to detect a undefined Isolator Position
This is realized in the same way as the
supervision of the coupler CB

BBP_basics_3 / 2003-04-01 / RW
What dangerous
situation would be
generated in case of fault
condition (without any
additional logic)
???

In case of fault condition
the coupler current will be assigned 2

times to the measurement system:
1 * positive
BBP_basics_3 / 2003-04-01 / RW
1 * negative
one of that current will simulate an
current which is flowing out of the
measurement system (external fault)
this could prevent a trip in case of a
busbar fault
Coupler functions
How can this

situations be avoided
