Determines the pick-up ratio threshold between the minimum and
maximum values of the phase current.
This condition has to be met for the function to activate.
I2/I1 ratio

49.00%
Determines the pick-up ratio threshold for the negative and positive
sequence currents calculated from the phase currents.
This condition has to be met for the function to activate.
The ratio is 50 % for a full single-phasing fault (i.e. when one of the
phases is lost entirely). Setting this at 49 % allows a current of 0.01 ×

Determines the pick-up ratio threshold for the calculated residual phase
current and the measured residual current. If the measurement circuit is
healthy, the sum of these two currents should be 0.

Determines the delay between the activation of the function and the
alarm.
The pick-up activation of the function is not directly equal to the START signal generation of the
function. The START signal is allowed if the blocking condition is not active. When the activation of the
pick-up is based on binary signals, the activation happens immediately after the monitored signal is
activated.
Function blocking
The block signal is checked in the beginning of each program cycle. The blocking signal is received
from the blocking matrix in the function's dedicated input. If the blocking signal is not activated when
the pick-up element activates, a START signal is generated and the function proceeds to the time
characteristics calculation.
If the blocking signal is active when the pick-up element activates, a BLOCKED signal is generated and
the function does not process the situation further. If the START function has been activated before the
blocking signal, it resets and the release time characteristics are processed similarly to when the pick-
up signal is reset.
The blocking of the function causes an HMI display event and a time-stamped blocking event with
information of the startup current values and its fault type to be issued.
The blocking signal can also be tested in the commissioning phase by a software switch signal when
the relay's testing mode "Enable stage forcing" is activated (
General
→
Device).
The variables the user can set are binary signals from the system. The blocking signal needs to reach
the device minimum of 5 ms before the set operating delay has passed in order for the blocking to
activate in time.
Operating time characteristics
This function supports definite time delay (DT). For detailed information on this delay type please refer
to the chapter "General properties of a protection function" and its section "Operating time
characteristics for trip and reset".
