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).

What is Parallel Operation
​Parallel operation​ involves connecting two or more independent AC power sources (e.g., generators, grids) to share electrical loads seamlessly. This process—synchronization—demands precise matching of voltage magnitude, frequency, and phase angles between systems before interconnection. Critical for grid expansion, backup power, and renewable integration, it enables redundant supply during failures.

Ring-Closing Operation: Definition & Importance in Power Grids
A ring-closing operation involves closing a normally open switch within a closed-loop electrical network fed by a single power source. This creates parallel paths to redistribute loads without interruption, primarily for maintenance or network reconfiguration. Key prerequisites are voltage difference under 5%, phase angle alignment below 5 degrees, and pre-calculation of induced circulating currents to avoid equipment damage. Distinct from connecting independent systems, this procedure requires advanced monitoring but avoids synchronization complexity. Strict protocols using real-time sensors and simulations ensure safe execution, making it fundamental for resilient distribution networks like ring-main units (RMUs) in urban grids.

Synchronism Check Function vs. Synchronizing Function: Roles, Differences, and Applications
This article compares the ​synchronism check function​ in line protection devices and the ​synchronizing function​ in dedicated synchronizing equipment. The ​synchronism check function​ serves as a safety interlock for circuit breaker closing operations, while the ​synchronizing function​ enables precise generator synchronization and critical tie-line interconnections with active parameter regulation. Explore core principles, application scenarios, and technical distinctions between these critical power system components.

Transformer Protection Configuration Principles
Transformer protection is critical for maintaining power system reliability. A well-designed ​transformer protection configuration​ must balance speed, selectivity, and sensitivity to prevent equipment damage and outages. ​Primary protection​ (e.g., differential and gas protection) acts instantly for internal faults, while ​backup protection​ (e.g., overcurrent, zero-sequence) provides redundancy for extended coverage. This guide covers key principles, settings, and coordination to optimize ​transformer protection​ schemes for different transformer types and voltage levels.
