Directional Comparison Pickup
The following procedure is suited for both conventional and digital transmission media.
Principle
The directional comparison scheme is a permissive scheme. The scheme functionality is shown in Figure 2-90.
When the earth fault protection recognizes a fault in the forward direction, it initially sends a permissive signal
to the opposite line end. If a permissive signal is also received from the opposite end, a trip signal is routed to
the trip logic. Accordingly it is a prerequisite for fast tripping that the fault is recognized in the forward direction
at both line ends.
The send signal can be prolonged by T
S
(settable). The prolongation of the send signal only comes into effect
if the protection has already issued a trip command. This ensures that the permissive signal releases the op-
posite line end even if the earth fault is very rapidly cleared by a different independent protection.
