$SSOLFDWLRQ In many protection applications local redun-
dancy is used. One part of the fault clearance
system is however never duplicated, namely
the circuit breaker. Therefore a breaker fail-
ure protection can be used.
The breaker failure protection is initiated by
trip signals from different protection func-
tions within or outside the protection termi-
'HVLJQ The breaker failure protection function is ini-
tiated by the trip commands from protection
functions placed either inside the same termi-
nal or externally, by connection to appropri-
ate binary inputs. A dedicated input is
available for general starting.
The operate value of the phase segregated
current measuring elements is settable within
a wide range. Three independent timers t2 are
available for phase segregated breaker failure
detection.

Single or two phase start and retrip
Independent timers for each phase
Non-segregated backup trip with indepen-
dent timer
nal. When a trip signal is sent to the breaker
failure protection first, with no or a very short
delay, a re-trip signal can be sent to the pro-
tected breaker. If fault current is flowing
through the breaker still after a setting time a
back-up trip signal is sent to the adjacent
breakers. This will ensure fault clearance also
if the circuit breaker is out of order.
An additional timer t1 for retrip command is
available. Dedicated setting allows to enable
or disable the retrip or to perform it by cur-
rent check or not. Retrip to the faulty circuit
breaker can be issued single phase or three
phase.
Special adaptive algorithm (ASD), together
with RMS measurement, allow a fast reset-
ting time of the current measuring elements.
The current measurement is stabilised against
transients which can cause unwanted opera-
tion with saturated current transformers.
