2.10 External direct and remote tripping
Any signal from an external protection or monitoring device can be coupled into the signal processing of the
7SA522 by means of a binary input. This signal can be delayed, alarmed and routed to one or several output
relays.
2.10.1 Method of Operation
External trip of the local circuit breaker
Figure 2-103 shows the logic diagram. If device and circuit breaker are capable of single-phase operation, it is
also possible to trip single-pole. The tripping logic of the device ensures that the conditions for single-pole trip-
ping are met (e.g. single-phase tripping permissible, automatic reclosure ready).
The external tripping can be switched on and off with a setting parameter and may be blocked via binary input.
Figure 2-103 Logic diagram of the local external tripping
Remote trip of the circui t breaker at the opposi te l ine end
On a digital communication link via protection interface, transmission of up to 4 remote commands is possible,
as described in Section 2.5.
On conventional transmission paths, one transmission channel per desired transmission direction is required
for remote tripping at the remote end. For example, fibre optic connections or voice frequency modulated high
frequency channels via pilot cables, power line carrier or microwave radio links can be used for this purpose in
the following ways.
If the trip command of the distance protection is to be transmitted, it is best to use the integrated teleprotection
function for the transmission of the signal as this already incorporates the optional extension of the transmitted
signal, as described in Section 2.6. Any of the commands can of course be used to trigger the transmitter to
initiate the send signal.
On the receiver side, the external local trip function is used. The receive signal is routed to a binary input which
is assigned to the logical binary input function >DTT Trip L123. If single-pole tripping is desired, you can
also use binary inputs >DTT Trip L1, >DTT Trip L2 and >DTT Trip L3. Figure 2-103 thus also
applies in this case.

2.10.2 Setting Notes
General
A prerequisite for the application of the direct and remote tripping functions is that during the configuration of
the scope of functions in address 122 DTT Direct Trip = Enabled was applied. At address 2201 FCT
Direct Trip it can also be switched ON or OFF.
It is possible to set a trip delay for both the local external trip and the receive side of the remote trip in address
2202 Trip Time DELAY. This can be used as a security time margin, especially in the case of local trip.
Once a trip command has been issued, it is maintained for at least as long as the set minimum trip command
duration TMin TRIP CMD which was set for the device in general in address 240 (Section 2.1.2). Reliable
operation of the circuit breaker is therefore ensured, even if the initiating signal pulse is very short. This param-
eter can only be altered in DIGSI at Additional Setti ngs.
