To assure selectivity between different protections, in the radial network, there has to
be a minimum time difference
D
t between the time delays of two protections. To
determine the shortest possible time difference, the operation time of protections,
breaker opening time and protection resetting time must be known. These time delays
can vary significantly between different protective equipment. The following time
delays can be estimated:
Protection trip time:
15-60 ms
Protection resetting time:
15-60 ms
Breaker opening time:
20-120 ms
The different characteristics are described in the technical reference manual.
tx
: Definite time delay for step
x
. The definite time
tx
is added to the inverse time when
inverse time characteristic is selected. Note that the value set is the time between
activation of the start and the trip outputs.
Pickup"x"
: Operate residual current level for step
x
given in % of
IB
.
INx>Max
and
INx>Min
should only be changed if remote setting of operation current
level,
INx>
, is used. The limits are used for decreasing the used range of the
INx>
setting. If
INx>
is set outside
INx>Max
and
INx>Min
, the closest of the limits to
INx>
is used by the function. If
INx>Max
is smaller than
INx>Min
, the limits are swapped.
kx
: Time multiplier for the dependent (inverse) characteristic for step
x
.
IMinx
: Minimum pickup current for step
x
in % of
IB
. Set
IMinx
below
Pickupx
for
every step to achieve ANSI reset characteristic according to standard. If
IMinx
is set
above for any step, signal will reset at current equals to zero.
txMin
: Minimum operating time for inverse time characteristics. At high currents, the
inverse time characteristic might give a very short operation time. By setting this
parameter, the operation time of the step can never be shorter than the setting.
