For simulating OOS condition in SEL 321, following conditions should be fulfilled
i)
Breaker should be close condition (3 pole open condition should not be
there),
ii)
Loss of potential condition should not be there,
iii)
Fault current selected should be greater than the 50ABC setting adopted in
the OOS settings,
iv)
Impedance loci chosen for the simulation should lie in between the zone 5
& 6 or OOS zone more than the OSBD time chosen in the relay.
