8.4. Cold Load Pickup
The cold load pickup function is used to prevent the switch(or CB) from incorrectly operating by
the cold load current caused by applying voltage to a transformer, a reactor or a long-distance line.
ETMFC610 provides “Cold Load Pickup” to prevent fault indication functions(in case of FI type)
and protection functions(in case of Protection type) from operating wrong by the cold load current
caused by applying power to a transformer, a reactor or a long-distance line.
In the state of cold load, this function is used to restrain the operation fault indication functions and
protection functions to over current occurring by change of load(the close of a switch on long-
distance line, incoming heavy load etc.). This function to restrain fault indication functions and
protection functions rise or drop the fault pickup current during certain time(CLPU Time) defined
by a user. In case of FI control type, FI pickup current is changed(risen and dropped) during certain
time. But, in case of Protection control type, pickup current of time overcurrent elements(51) is
changed.
Over Current Pickup Level Step Up
At power loss (a Switch(or CB) is opened or a load current is 0A), the pickup current of FI or time
overcurrent is risen as follows.

Operationa
As example, when ‘Pickup Multi’ and ‘Interval Time’ are set to be 3.0 and 60min respectively,
over 30 min after power loss, the applied cold load multiple is 2. If the minimum working current is
set to be 200A, the current of Over Current Pickup becomes 400A, twice as much as the minimum
working current. In addition, after 60 min, the cold load multiple is fixed to be 3.
Over Current Pickup Level Step Down
If power is restored (52A closed or restoration of load current (over 2A)), the pickup current of FI
or time overcurrent is dropped with the same speed when rising until the cold load multiple
becomes 1.
