Protection Setup
Min. Time—
This is the time (in seconds) defining the fastest response of the
inverse-curve portion of the TCC curve. (Range: 0.000-100.000; Step: 0.001)
Time Mult.—
This is the time multiplier for the inverse curve. (Range: 0.01-15.00;
Step: 0.001)
Time Adder—
This is the time adder for the inverse curve. (Range: -10.000-100.000;
Step: 0.001)
Low Current Cutoff—
This is the current (in primary amperes) at which the TCC curve
begins timing. This value must be equal to or greater than the lowest pickup value of the
inverse curve, the
Definite Time 1
element, and the
Definite Time 2
element. (Range:
6-16,000; Step: 1) The stated maximum is for 15-kV IntelliRupter fault interrupters; 27-kV
and 38-kV are limited to 12,500 amps maximum.
Reset—
Select the reset method for the inverse curve from the drop-down list: Select
the
D/T
(Definite Time) or
E/M
(Electromechanical) mode.
Reset Time—
If the
Definite Time
reset mode is selected, enter the time delay for the
reset (in seconds). (Range: 0.000-600.000; Step: 0.001)
Definite Time 1 Min. Trip—
This is the current (in primary amperes) at which the
Definite Time 1
element picks up. (Range: 6-16,000; Step: 1) The stated maximum
is for 15-kV IntelliRupter fault interrupters; 27-kV and 38-kV models are limited to
12,500 amps maximum.
Definite Time 1 Min. Time—
This is the time delay (in seconds) after which the
Definite
Time 1
element trips. (Range: 0.000-600.000; Step: 0.001)
Definite Time 2 Min. Trip—
This is the current (in primary amperes) at which the
Definite Time 2
element picks up. (Range: 6-16,000; Step: 1) The stated maximum
is for 15-kV IntelliRupter fault interrupters; 27-kV and 38-kV models are limited to
12,500 amps maximum.
Definite Time 2 Min. Time—
This is the time delay (in seconds) after which the
Definite
Time 2
element trips. (Range: 0.000-600.000; Step: 0.001)
Ground Overcurrent
The
Ground Overcurrent
element trips the IntelliRupter fault interrupter when the
computed residual of the three-phase elements exceeds the pickup value for the time
value set by the inverse curve or definite time delay.
Ground Check box—
Select this box to configure the
Ground Overcurrent
element.
Inverse Segment—
Select the curve from the drop-down list of inverse-curve names
or select the
None
option. When the
None
option is selected, only the
Definite Time
settings will be used.
Min. Trip—
This is the current (in primary amperes) at which the inverse curve begins
timing. (Range: 6-16,000; Step: 1) The stated maximum is for 15-kV IntelliRupter fault
interrupters; 27-kV and 38-kV models are limited to 12,500 amps maximum.
Min. Time—
This is the time (in seconds) defining the fastest response of the inverse-
curve portion of the TCC curve. (Range: 0.000-100.000; Step: 0.001)
Time Mult.—
This is the time multiplier for the inverse curve. (Range: 0.01-15.00;
Step: 0.001)
Time Adder—
This is the time adder for the inverse curve. (Range: -10.000-100.000; Step:
0.001)
