> (50N/51N)
Undirectional earth fault protection is used to detect earth
faults in low impedance earthed networks. In high impedance
earthed networks, compensated networks and isolated
networks undirectional earth fault can be used as back-up
protection.
The undirectional earth fault function is sensitive to the
fundamental frequency component of the residual current 3I
0
.
The attenuation of the third harmonic is more than 60 dB.
Whenever this fundamental value exceeds the user's pick-up
setting of a particular stage, this stage picks up and a start
signal is issued. If the fault situation remains on longer than
the user's operation time delay setting, a trip signal is issued.
