when configuring the protective functions (Section 2.1.1.2), the user-defined curves will also be avail-
able. A maximum of 20 value pairs (current and time) may be entered at address
1230
51/51N
or
1330
50N/51N
in this case. This option allows point-by-point entry of any desired curve. When setting address
112
=
User def. Reset
or
113
=
User def. Reset
additional value pairs (current and reset time) may be
entered in address
1231
MofPU Res T/Tp
or
1331
MofPU Res T/TEp
to represent the dropout curve.
Since current values are rounded in a specific pattern before they are processed in the device (see Table 2-3),
we recommend to use exactly the same preferred current values you can find in this table.
The current and time value pairs are entered as multiples of addresses
1207
51 PICKUP
and
1208
51 TIME
DIAL
for the phase currents and
1307
and
1308
for the ground system. Therefore, it is recommended that
these addresses are initially set to 1.00 for simplicity. Once the curve is entered, the values at addresses
1207
or
1307
or/and
1208
or
1308
can be modified later to allow moving the curve in a different direction.
The default setting of current values is
∞
. They are, therefore, disabled and no pickup or tripping of these pro-
tection functions will occur.
The following must be observed:
• The value pairs should be entered in increasing sequence. If desired, fewer than 20 pairs can be entered.
In most cases, about 10 pairs is sufficient to define the characteristic accurately. A value pair which is not
used has to be made invalid by entering "
∞
” for the threshold! The user must ensure that the value pairs
produce a clear and constant characteristic .
The current values entered should be those from the following table, along with the matching times. Deviat-
ing values MofPU (multiples of PU-values) are rounded. This, however, will not be indicated.
Currents smaller than the current value of the smallest curve point will not lead to an extension of the tripping
time. The pickup curve (see Figure 2-14, right side) runs parallel to the current axis, up to the smallest
current value point.
Currents larger than the largest current value entered will not lead to a reduction of the tripping time. The
pickup curve (see Figure 2-14, right side) runs parallel to the current axis, beginning with the greatest current
value point.
