Non-directional earth-fault protection
(50/51N)
The earth-fault unit of the combined overcurrent and earth-
fault relay VAMP 140 is provided with two energizing inputs
rated 5 A and 1 A, software selection.
The earth-fault unit measures the fundamental frequency
component Io. In the VAMP 140 relay this means that the
degree of attenuation of the third harmonic is at least 60 dB,
which contributes to the extremely high accuracy of the earth-
fault protection.
