TIME CHARACTERISTICS AND THE APPLIED FORMULAE ARE
GIVEN IN THE 4ECHNICAL DATA REFER TO &IGURES TO
3ECTIONS AND
4HE SELECTED OVERCURRENT TIME CHARACTERISTICS IS SU
PERIMPOSED BY A HIGH SET INSTANTANEOUS OR DEFINITE
TIME DELAYED STAGE
4HE CHARACTERISTICS CAN BE INDIVIDUALLY SET FOR PHASE
CURRENTS AND FOR EARTH CURRENTS !LL STAGES ARE INDE
PENDENT FROM EACH OTHER AND CAN BE SET INDIVIDUALLY
5NDER CONDITIONS OF MANUAL CLOSING ONTO FAULT THE
OVERCURRENT TIME PROTECTION CAN ALSO PROVIDE A RAPID
TRIP ! CHOICE CAN BE MADE WHETHER THE ) STAGES
OR THE ))P STAGES ARE DECISIVE FOR AN UNDELAYED
TRIP IE THE ASSOCIATED TIME DELAY IS BY PASSED FOR
THIS CONDITION
&ORMATION OF THE MEASURED
QUANTITIES
4HE MEASURED CURRENTS ARE FED TO THE RELAY VIA THE IN
PUT TRANSDUCERS FOR EACH PHASE 4HE INPUTS ARE GAL
VANICALLY ISOLATED AGAINST THE ELECTRONIC CIRCUITS AS
WELL AS AGAINST EACH OTHER 4HUS THE STAR POINT OF THE
THREE PHASE CURRENTS CAN BE FORMED OUTSIDE OF THE
RELAY OR FURTHER PROTECTION OR SUPERVISION DEVICES
CAN BE INCLUDED IN THE CURRENT TRANSFORMER CIRCUITS
&OR THE EARTH CURRENT INPUT EITHER THE RESIDUAL CUR
RENT OF THE PHASE CURRENT TRANSFORMERS MAY BE USED
OR A SEPARATE SUMMATION CURRENT TRANSFORMER MAY
BE CONNECTED
4HE SECONDARY SIDES OF THE RELAY INPUT TRANSFORMERS
ARE TERMINATED BY SHUNT RESISTORS WHICH TRANSFORM
THE CURRENTS TO PROPORTIONAL VOLTAGES THESE VOLTAGES
ARE CONVERTED TO NUMERICAL VALUES BY ANALOG TO
DIGITAL CONVERTERS
