Symbols

Directional-comparison blocking interface

Uses the assigned remote blocking information with the local directional protection decision. A protection scheme combines measurements, decision elements and communication or trip outputs to protect a defined part of the network. A function number names a job; the scheme interface shows how that job connects to other equipment.

A distinction that matters

Communication loss behavior must be defined. This reference describes the named application; it does not establish a new IEC graphical symbol, an ANSI device-function number or an exact manufacturer connection diagram.
