Technical manual
.
Ix>
: Operate phase current level for step 
x
 given in % of 
IB
.
Ix>Max
 and 
Ix>Min
 should only be changed if remote setting of operation current level, 
Ix>
, is
used. The limits are used for decreasing the used range of the 
Ix>
 setting. If 
Ix>
 is set outside
Ix>Max
 and 
Ix>Min
, the closest of the limits to 
Ix>
 is used by the function. If 
Ix>Max
 is smaller
than 
Ix>Min
, the limits are swapped.
tx
: Definite time delay for step 
x
. The definite time 
tx
 is added to the inverse time when inverse
time characteristic is selected. Note that the value set is the time between activation of the
start and the trip outputs.
kx
: Time multiplier for inverse time delay for step 
x
.
IMinx
: Minimum operate current in % of 
IB
 for all inverse time characteristics, below which no
operation takes place.
IMinx
: Minimum operate current for step 
x
 in % of 
IBase
. Set 
IMinx
 below 
Ix>
 for every step to
achieve ANSI reset characteristic according to standard. If 
IMinx
 is set above 
Ix>
 for any step
the ANSI reset works as if current is zero when current drops below 
IMinx
.
txMin
: Minimum operate time for all inverse time characteristics. At high currents the inverse
time characteristic might give a very short operation time. By setting this parameter the
operation time of the step can never be shorter than the setting. Setting range: 0.000 -
60.000s in steps of 0.001s.
IxMult
: Multiplier for scaling of the current setting value. If a binary input signal ENMULTx
(enableMultiplier) is activated the current operation level is increased by this setting constant.
Setting range: 1.0-10.0
