Overview
The “Echo and tripping in the event of weak infeed” is used to support the teleprotection method for distance protection and ground-fault protection. Its use is only advisable, therefore, if you are using an appropriate teleprotection method.
For more detailed information on “Echo and tripping in the event of weak infeed” function, refer to SIPROTEC 5 devices, V8.30 & higher manuals.
