WBreaker Failure Protection Solutions
⇒ standard BFP application (most common used)⇒ for line, transformer, generator, generator- transformer, reactors and
coupler CBs⇒ for all voltage levels and switchgear configurations ⇒ overcurrent settable independently for all feeders (depending on the
minimum feeder short current)⇒ operation independent on the CB auxiliary contacts (aux. contacts are
a week part of the protection chain)⇒ for single, double and three phase auto- reclosure (tripping), (phase
segregated starting inputs)⇒ for detection of evolving faults (phase segregated timers for t1)⇒ remote tripping signal settable after timer 1 or timer 2⇒ advanced trip- redirection functionality in case of CB SF6
underpressure condition⇒ not applicable for very low fault currents (e.g. generator
reverse power function) -> solution 2

⇒ applicable as basic BBP coupler functionality for the detection of faults between coupler CB and CT (coupler function - CB reclaim time)
⇒ not applicable for line, transformer, generator, generator- transformer, reactors feeders in HV systems
⇒ overcurrent (fault current) supervision depending on the BBP differential current setting (high short current required)
⇒ functionality depending on the BBP⇒ not applicable for single and double phase auto- reclosure (tripping)⇒ not applicable for detection of evolving faults⇒ the starting signal must be switch off by the CB “OFF” aux. contact to
prevent an unwanted trip to the CB after timer 1⇒ operation dependent on the CB auxiliary contacts (aux. contacts are a
week part of the protection chain)⇒ no trip- redirection functionality in case of CB SF6 underpressure
condition⇒ remote tripping signal fixed to timer 1
