In continuation of a prior thread, how do you prevent a separate relay doing breaker failure, sync check, reclose, low SF6 tripping and line MOD (trip) from fighting each other in a ring application?

Wouldn’t do it, but it would be trivial to design it to work properly.

Wouldn't do it? I thought stand alone BF was a better option. [ponder]

This one POCO wants it separate.
 
No, can't imagine how it would be better. Means more components to the overall system, that's not better.

A lot convinced me otherwise in another thread...
 
In another thread, there were two differing options offered.

A separate relay maybe an option for maintenance, or other reasons.

I happen to like a separate BF relay, because the relay logic is less complicated to me.

Yes you add an additional relay, but I need to add the push buttons anyway.
