In simple words this means that the CB is not breaking the current at the first zero
crossing after separation of the CB contacts. Instead current is re-ignited and only
braked at consecutive current zero crossings. This condition is manifested as high
current pulses at the moment of current re-ignition.
To detect this CB condition, the built in overcurrent feature can be used. Simply, any
start of the overcurrent feature during breaker normal opening means a restrike.
Therefore simple logic can be created in the Application Configuration tool to detect
such CB behavior. Such CB condition can be just alarmed, and if required, the built in
disturbance recorder can also be triggered.
To create this logic, a binary signal that the CB is going to be opened (but not trip
command) shall be made available to the IED.
