ANSI CODE : 50BF Circuit Breaker Failure

This function is designed to detect the failure of breakers that do not open when a tripping order is
sent. The breaker failure protection function is activated by an O1 output tripping order
received from the overcurrent protection functions (50/51, 50N/51N, 46, 67N, 67). It checks for
the disappearance of current during the time interval specified by the time delay T.
It may also take into account the position of the circuit breaker read on the logic inputs to
determine the actual opening of the breaker. Wiring a volt-free closed circuit breaker position
contact on the breaker closed equation editor input can ensure that the protection is effective in
the following situations:
When 50BF is activated by protection function 50N/51N (set point Is0 < 0.2 In), detection
of the 50BF current set point can possibly be not operational.
When trip circuit supervision (TCS) is used, the closed circuit breaker contact is shortcircuited. Logic input I102 is therefore no longer operational.
Automatic activation of this protection function requires the use of the program logic circuit
breaker control function. A specific input may also be used to activate the protection from the
equation editor. That option is useful for adding special cases of activation (e.g. tripping by an
external protection unit).
The time-delayed output of the protection unit should be assigned to a logic output via the control
matrix.
The starting and stopping of the time delay T counter are conditioned by the presence of a current
above the set point (I > Is).

Block diagram 50BF

Example of setting

The example below shows how to determine the time delay setting for the 50BF function
Overcurrent protection setting: T = inst. Circuit breaker operating time: 60 ms.
Auxiliary relay operating time to open the upstream breaker or breakers: 10 ms.a

Example of setting using SEPAM relay

The time delay for the 50BF function is the sum of the following times: Sepam O1 output relay
pick-up time = 10 ms Circuit breaker opening time = 60 ms Overshoot time for the breaker failure
function = 20 ms.

To avoid unwanted tripping of the upstream breakers, choose a margin of approximately 20 ms.
This gives us a time delay T = 110 ms.

One of the most successful energy management tools ever applied to building HVAC
systems is the variable frequency drive (VFD). For more than 20 years, VFDs have
successfully been installed on the fan and pump motors in a range of variable load
applications. Energy savings vary from 35 to 50 percent over conventional constant
speed applications, resulting in a return on investment of six months to two years.
