Analog channel configuration
ARCSARC has two analog group inputs which must be properly configured.
Table 1027: Analog inputs
Input
Description
I3P
1
Three-phase currents, necessary when the operation mode
"Light +current" is used
IRES
1
Residual current (measured or calculated)
See the preprocessing function blocks in this document for the possible
signal sources. The
GRPOFF
signal is available in the function block called
Protection.
Improper analog channel configuration causes a validation error if the analog
channels are not completely configured or they do not match with certain settings.
For troubleshooting, check the contents of this chapter and also the preprocessing
blocks in this document. The configuration can be written to the protection relay
once the mismatch is corrected.
4.9.5
Operation principle
The function can be enabled and disabled with the
Operation setting. The
corresponding parameter values are "On" and "Off".
The operation of ARCSARC can be described by using a module diagram. All the
modules in the diagram are explained in the next sections.

Level detector 1
The measured phase currents are compared phasewise to the set
Phase start value.
If the measured value exceeds the set
Phase start value, the level detector reports
the exceeding of the value to the operation mode selector.
