The trip settings alter slightly for the Residual Voltage Protection Element version. In this version, the
existing trip time and level (although extended in available values) settings are utilised for the series
earth continuity resistance only. The shunt trip time setting becomes the Pilot Interlock Trip Time Setting.
The Pilot Interlock Trip Time setting is
also used for open circuit trip conditions (>100Ω). This means that
the EC settings that have a set trip point (shunt and open circuit faults) can have a separate trip time that
is significantly faster than the series EC setting, which is more commonly used for touch potential
protection.
