of 4. The current setting should be chosen in accordance to the setting of the sensitive
earth-fault protection. The setting can be given within the range 2 – 200 % of IBase.
t1: Time delay of the re-trip. The setting can be given within the range 0 – 60s in steps
of 0.001 s. Typical setting is 0 – 50ms.
t2: Time delay of the back-up trip. The choice of this setting is made as short as
possible at the same time as unwanted operation must be avoided. Typical setting is 90
– 200ms (also dependent of re-trip timer).
The minimum time delay for the re-trip can be estimated as:

is the maximum opening time for the circuit breaker
t
BFP_reset
is the maximum time for breaker failure protection to detect correct breaker function (the

is a safety margin
It is often required that the total fault clearance time shall be less than a given critical
time. This time is often dependent of the ability to maintain transient stability in case
of a fault close to a power plant.
