Permissive schemes rely on communication channels to transmit permissive signals between relays at different terminals. If the channel fails, experiences noise, or suffers from delays, the scheme may fail to operate correctly, potentially leaving a fault uncleared or causing miscoordination with adjacent lines. Power line carrier channels, for example, are vulnerable to shorting during faults, which can compromise the permissive signal transmission and reduce reliability .
Permissive schemes are designed to trip only when both local and remote relays detect a fault. Under unusual conditions such as relay failure, channel failure, or weak-infeed conditions, the scheme may sacrifice dependability, meaning a genuine fault might not be cleared promptly . This contrasts with blocking schemes, which prioritize security over dependability.
Permissive schemes can be affected by sporadic problems in relay operation, including CT saturation, infeed effects during resistive faults, or marginal relay settings. These anomalies can prevent the permissive signal from being asserted correctly, leading to delayed or failed tripping . Overreaching schemes (POR) are particularly sensitive to faults near the remote end, requiring precise coordination to avoid misoperation.
While permissive schemes are simpler for two-terminal lines, multi-terminal or long transmission lines increase the complexity of signal coordination. Each terminal requires reliable communication, and any failure in one terminal can compromise the entire scheme, making it less robust in complex network configurations .
Certain predictable obstacles, such as open breakers or weak-infeed conditions, can interfere with the operation of permissive schemes. Although some schemes include add-ons like directional comparison unblocking (DCUB) to mitigate these issues, the system remains more sensitive to these conditions compared to blocking schemes .
In essence, the main disadvantages of permissive relay protection signals include:
