Function of Lockout Reclosing in ​Automatic Bus Transfer (ABT)

Source: 2025-07-03 10:13:24

Prevent uncontrolled reclosing of breakers by the Automatic Reclosing (ARC) function following Automatic Bus Transfer (ABT) operation.

Purpose of reclosing blocking:

1.Avoid re-energizing a faulted feeder.
2.Prevent uncontrolled restoration attempts.
3.Stop simultaneous energization from two sources.
4.Block ARC on breakers where ATS actions occurred.
5.Enforce the predefined ATS logic sequence.

How reclosing blocking is implemented

1.ARC initiates the lockout reclosing command.
2.Physical contacts block circuit breaker reclosing.
3.Output signals lock out associated ARC relays.
4.State retention lasts until ATS reset.
5.Manual reset clears the lockout condition.
6.Coordination settings (tARC, tATS) prevent conflicts.
7.Includes voltage/current logic checks for source availability.
8.Configurable via device settings (e.g., Lockout = Enabled/Disabled).
9.Monitors breaker positions (52a/52b contacts).
10.Supports remote reset commands (SCADA/protection relay).

Main Transformer-Protection Panel
Transformer Protection Relay Panel:Composition and Function
Transformer Protection Relay Panel is primarily used in automation systems for substations and distribution stations in power systems of 11kV, 33kV, 132kV and above. Its main function is to ensure that the transformer can promptly trip the faulty circuit in case of overload, short circuit, gas relay activation, and other abnormal operating conditions, thereby protecting the main transformer from damage and preventing the expansion of faults.

Feeder Protection Relay
Common Protection Functions for Feeder Protection Relays?
Feeder protection relays are a type of line protection relay and serve as critical devices in distribution systems for protecting power cables (feeders). They integrate multiple protection functions to achieve comprehensive, reliable, and selective protection. Below are the commonly used protection functions of feeder protection relays, along with their corresponding ANSI codes.

Transformer protection relay
Transformer Differential Protection(ANSI 87T): Working Principle, Function, and Setting Calculation
The working principle of the Transformer Differential Protection Relay is based on Kirchhoff's Current Law. This law states that the sum of currents entering a node is zero. Ideally, for a healthy (non-faulted) transformer, the current entering the primary winding should equal the current leaving the secondary winding (after accounting for the transformer's turns ratio and phase shift).
