CONTROL ELEMENTS
Voltages must be present prior to flashover conditions. If the three VTs are placed after the breaker on the line (or
feeder), and the downstream breaker is open, the measured voltage is zero and the flashover element is not
initiated.
The flashover detection resets if the current drops back to zero, the breaker closes, or the selected FlexLogic operand for
supervision changes to high. Using supervision through the
settings is recommended by selecting a trip operand that does not allow the flashover element to pickup prior to the
SPV c
trip.
The flashover detection can be used for external alarm, re-tripping the breaker, or energizing the lockout relay.
Consider the following configuration:
The source 1 (SRC1) phase currents are feeder CTs and phase voltages are bus VTs, and Contact Input 1 is set as Breaker
52a contact. The conditions prior to flashover detection are:
5
•
52a status = 0
•
VAg, VBg, or VCg is greater than the pickup setting
•
IA, IB, IC = 0; no current flows through the breaker
•
ΔVA is greater than pickup (not applicable in this scheme)
The conditions at flashover detection are:
•
52a status = 0
•
IA, IB, or IC is greater than the pickup current flowing through the breaker
ΔVA is greater than pickup (not applicable in this scheme)
•
Six VT breaker flashover application
The per-phase voltage difference approaches zero when the breaker is closed. This is well below any typical minimum
pickup voltage. Select the level of the
