Negative-sequence instantaneous overcurrent elements 50Q1 through 50Q4 and 67Q1
through 67Q4 should not be set to trip directly
. This is because negative-sequence current
can transiently appear when a circuit breaker is closed and balanced load current suddenly
appears.
To avoid tripping for this transient condition, use negative-sequence definite-time overcurrent
elements 67Q1T through 67Q4T with at least 1.5 cycles of time delay (transient condition lasts
less than 1.5 cycles). For example, make time delay setting:
67Q1D = 1.50
for negative-sequence definite-time overcurrent element 67Q1T. Refer to Figure 3.46 for more
information on negative-sequence instantaneous and definite-time overcurrent elements.

Coordinating Negative-Sequence Overcurrent Elements
in this appendix
for guidelines on coordinating negative-sequence definite-time overcurrent elements and a
following coordination example. The coordination example uses time-overcurrent elements, but
the same principles can be applied to definite-time overcurrent elements.

Negative-sequence time-overcurrent element 51QT should not be set to trip directly when it
is set with a low time-dial setting
51QTD,
that results in curve times below 3 cycles
(see
curves in Figures 9.1 through 9.10 in
Section 9: Setting the Relay
). This is because negative-
sequence current can transiently appear when a circuit breaker is closed and balanced load
current suddenly appears. Refer to Figure 3.49 for more information on negative-sequence time-
overcurrent element 51QT.
To avoid having negative-sequence time-overcurrent element 51QT with such low time dial
settings trip for this transient negative-sequence current condition, make settings similar to the
following:
SV6PU = 1.50 cycles
(minimum response time; transient condition lasts
less than 1.5 cycles)
SV6 = 51Q
(run pickup of negative-sequence time-overcurrent
element 51QT through SEL
OGIC
control equation
variable timer SV6)
TR = … + 51QT * SV6T + …
(trip conditions; SV6T is the output of the SEL
OGIC
control equation variable timer SV6)
