Setting Notes
The inrush current detection is required for the following applications:
• For the differential protection if an inductance is located in the protected zone.
• For the time overcurrent protection if a transformer is located in the protected zone or if the protected line
ends on a transformer.
Inrush current detection can be turned
ON
or
OFF
at address

It is based on the evaluation of the second harmonic which exists in the inrush current. Ex-works a ratio of

is set under address

, which can normally be taken over. However, the com-
ponent required for restraint can be parameterized. In order to be able to achieve a higher degree of restraint
in case of exceptionally unfavorable inrush conditions, you may also set a smaller value.
However, if the local measured current exceeds a value set in address
2305
MAX INRUSH PEAK
, there will
be no inrush restraint. The peak value is decisive. The set value should be higher than the maximum inrush
current peak value that can be expected. For transformers set the value above

. If a line ends
on a transformer, a smaller value may be selected, considering the damping of the current by the line imped-
ance.
The crossblock function can be activated (
YES
or deactivated (

) in address

CROSS BLOCK
. The time
after exceeding of the current threshold for which this crossblock is to be activated is set under address

CROSSB 2HM
. With the setting
∞
the crossblock function is always active until the second harmonic content in
all phases has dropped below the set value.
