1 Pole discordance detection function

In high voltage networks pole discordance is usually not allowed as a continuous mode of
operation. It means that a trip command for the circuit breaker is to be generated if the circuit
breaker is closed only in one phase, or if the circuit breaker is open only in one phase.

The pole discordance protection function receives status signals from the poles of the circuit
breaker. From each pole, the open and closed state is received. Pole discordance is detected
based on these status signals. Pole discordance can be either single phase open or double
phase open state. Separate time delays can be set for the two states and the operation of the
function for the two modes can be enabled or disabled separately. If the dedicated timer
expires, the function generates a trip command the duration of which is defined by parameter
setting.

Additionally, in some applications an external device processes the status signals of the
circuit breaker poles. In the event of pole discrepancy, the output signal of that external
device is received by this function. If this mode of operation is enabled by parameter setting, a
trip command of the specified duration is generated.

1.1 Operation of the pole discordance detection algorithm

Figure 1-1 shows the logic scheme of the pole discordance detection algorithm.

VERSION 1.0 5/8

The inputs are:
a signal for enabling/disabling the operation,
a common signal to input the decision about the pole discrepancy of an external
device,
the open and closed state of the circuit breaker poles.

Pole discordance is detected based on these status signals. It can be either
single phase operation or
double phase operation.

Separate time delays can be set for the two states and the operation of the function for the
two modes can be enabled or disabled separately.

For these modes of operation, the application of the common Blk input signal disables
operation.

If the single pole open and single pole closed state is enabled by parameters
PD_1ph_BPar_ (Trip 1ph) and/or PD_2ph_BPar_(Trip 2ph), then dedicated timers start.

At the expiry of the timers a trip signal of a specified duration is generated. The time delays
are defined by the parameters PD_Del1ph_TPar_ (Delay 1ph) and PD_Del2ph_TPar_
(Delay 2ph).

If the application of the common input signal is enabled and the signal is active, then a
dedicated timer is started. The time delay is defined by the parameter PD_DelCom_TPar_
(Delay Comm).

The output signals are:
single phase open state after a specified time delay,
single phase closed state after a specified time delay,
general trip command of a given duration after a specified time delay.
