Current Elements
There are two current elements available. Both elements operate directionally, whereby the tripping zones can
be set individually for each element (see margin heading „Tripping Area“).
Both elements are provided with a definite time characteristic. Two current/time elements are used for ground
fault protection. Analog to the time overcurrent protection function, the overcurrent element is named
50Ns-1
PICKUP
and
50Ns-1 DELAY
and the high-set element
50Ns-2 PICKUP
and
50Ns-2 DELAY
.
The pickup of the definite time overcurrent protection can be stabilized by the configured dropout delay time
(address
3121
50Ns T DROP-OUT
).
Tripping Area
The U0/I0-
ϕ
characteristic is illustrated as a sector in the U0/I0 phasor diagram (see Figure 2-83). This sector
corresponds to the tripping area. If the cursor of the ground current is in this sector, the function picks up.
The tripping area is defined via several parameters: Via the angle
ϕ
(parameter
3154
50Ns-1 Phi
or
3151
50Ns-2 Phi
), the center of the zone with reference to the displacement voltage V
0
is set. Via the angle
∆ϕ
(parameter
3155
50Ns-1 DeltaPhi
or
3152
50Ns-2 DeltaPhi
), the zone is extended to both sides of the
center.
The zone is further limited downwards by minimum values of the displacement voltage and ground current.
These settable threshold values must be exceeded in order to be picked up.
Negative angle settings turn the tripping area in the „inductive“ direction, i.e. ground current inductive compared
to ground voltage.
