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 for trip and reset
The operating timers’ behavior during a function can be set for TRIP signal and also for the release of
the function in case the pick-up element is reset before the trip time has been reached. There are three
basic operating modes available for the function:
• Instant operation: gives the TRIP signal with no additional time delay simultaneously with the
START signal.
• Definite time operation (DT): gives the TRIP signal after a user-defined time delay regardless
of the measured or calculated voltage as long as the voltage is above the U
set
value and
thus the pick-up element is active (independent time characteristics).
• Inverse definite minimum time (IDMT): gives the TRIP signal after a time which is in relation
to the set pick-up voltage U
set
and the measured voltage U
m
(dependent time
characteristics).
The IDMT function follows one of the following formulas:
Where:
• t = operating time
• k = time dial setting
•
U
m
= measured voltage
• U
s
= pick-up setting
• a = IDMT multiplier setting
The following table presents the setting parameters for the function's time characteristics.

- 1: DT
Selection of the delay type time counter. The selection possibilities are
dependent (IDMT, Inverse Definite Minimum Time) and independent
(DT, Definite Time) characteristics.
Definite
operating
time delay
0.000…1800.000s 0.005s 0.040s
Definite time operating delay. The setting is active and visible when DT
is the selected delay type.
When set to 0.000 s, the stage operates as instant without added delay.
When the parameter is set to 0.005...1800 s, the stage operates as
independent delayed.
