Residual overcurrent - 50N/51N
Preface
Three operation thresholds, independently adjustable (
I
E
>,
I
E
>>,
I
E
>>>) with adjustable delay (
t
E
>,
t
E
>>,
t
E
>>>).
The first one (
I
E
>) may be programmed with definite or inverse time according the IEC and ANSI/IEEE
standard, as well as with EM curve.
The second and third thresholds (
I
E
>>,
I
E
>>>) with independent time.
For each threshold a reset time can be set (
t
E>RES
,
t
E>>RES
,
t
E>>>RES
) useful to reduce the clearing
time for intermittent faults.
The first threshold trip may be inhibited by start of the second and/or third threshold (
I
E
>>,
I
E
>>>).
Similarly the second threshold trip may be inhibited by start of the third threshold (
I
E
>>>).
Operation and settings
The residual fundamental frequency current is compared with the setting value. Current above the
associated pickup value is detected and a start is issued. After expiry of the associated operate time
a trip command is issued; if instead the current drops below the threshold, the element is restored.
The first threshold (
I
E
>) may be programmed with definite or inverse time according the following
characteristic curves:
• Standard Inverse Time (IEC 255-3/BS142 type A or SIT):

The first overcurrent element can be programmed with definite or inverse time characteristic by
setting the
IE>Curve
parameter (
DEFINITE, IEC/BS A, IEC/BS B, IEC/BS C, IEC/BS B LI,
ANSI/IEE MI, ANSI/IEE VI, ANSI/IEE EI, EM
) available inside the

Note 1 When the input value is more than 20 times the set point , the operate time is limited to the value corresponding to 20 times the set point
