SETTINGS
GROUPED ELEMENTS
SETTING GROUP 1(6)
NEUTRAL CURRENT
NEUTRAL TOC1(6)
The neutral time overcurrent element can provide a desired time-delay operating characteristic versus the applied current
or be used as a simple definite time element. The neutral current input value is a quantity calculated as 3Io from the phase
currents and can be programmed as fundamental phasor magnitude or total waveform RMS magnitude as required by the
application.
Two methods of resetting operation are available: “Timed” and “Instantaneous” (see the Inverse TOC Curve Characteristics
section for details on curve setup, trip times, and reset operation). When the element is blocked, the time accumulator
resets according to the reset characteristic. For example, if the element reset characteristic is set to “Instantaneous” and
the element is blocked, the time accumulator clears immediately.
NEUTRAL TOC1 FUNCTION
— This setting enables and disables the neutral time overcurrent protection element.
NEUTRAL TOC1 SIGNAL SOURCE
— This setting selects the signal source for the neutral time overcurrent protection element.
NEUTRAL TOC1 INPUT
— This setting selects how neutral current input quantities are interpreted by the N60. Inputs can be
selected as fundamental phasor magnitudes or total waveform RMS magnitudes as required by the application.
NEUTRAL TOC1 PICKUP
— This setting specifies the neutral time overcurrent pickup level in per-unit values.
NEUTRAL TOC1 CURVE
— This setting selects the inverse time overcurrent curve style.
NEUTRAL TOC1 TD MULTIPLIER
— This setting specifies a multiple of the base curve shape specified by the
CURVE
setting.
Programming this value to zero results in an instantaneous response to all current levels above pickup.
NEUTRAL TOC1 RESET
— The “Instantaneous” reset method is intended for applications with other relays, such as most static
relays, which set the energy capacity directly to zero when the current falls below the reset threshold. The “Timed” reset
method can be used where the relay must coordinate with electromechanical relays.
