Characteristic Curve Reminders
As previously mentioned, combining protective capabilities
is a matter of coordination. The effects of one selection
should always be evaluated against other selections to
determine if the overall desired result is obtained. For this
reason, keep in mind the following Digitrip 3000 selection
possibilities and relay design features when programming
the unit to closely coordinate with system protective needs:
1. When “NONE” is selected as a setting, the associated
tripping function is disabled.
2. When “NONE” is selected for the Phase
Instantaneous Setting, a Phase Discriminator option is
offered.
3. The internal design of the Digitrip 3000 Protective
Relay is such that the Short Delay Time setting might
take precedence over the Inverse Time Overcurrent
Time.
