9.13.3.1 Explanation of the setting parameters
Operation: Set to On in order to activate the function; set to Off to switch off the complete
function.
Pickup_Curr: Operation phase current level given in % of IBase.
Characterist: Selection of time characteristic: Definite time delay and different types of
inverse time characteristics are available; see Technical Manual for details.
tDef_OC: Definite time delay. It is used if definite time characteristic is chosen; it shall be
set to 0 s if the inverse time characteristic is chosen and no additional delay shall be added.
Note that the value set is the time between activation of the start and the trip outputs.
k: Time multiplier for inverse time delay.
tMin: Minimum operation 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.
Operation_UV: it sets On/Off the operation of the under-voltage stage.
PickUp_Volt: Operation phase-to-phase voltage level given in % of VBase for the under-
voltage stage. Typical setting may be, for example, in the range from 70% to 80% of the
rated voltage of the generator.
tDef_UV: Definite time delay. Since it is related to a backup protection function, a long
time delay (for example 0.5 s or more) is typically used. Note that the value set is the time
between activation of the start and the trip outputs.
EnBlkLowV: This parameter enables the internal block of the undervoltage stage for low
voltage condition; the voltage level is defined by the parameter BlkLowVolt.
BlkLowVolt: Voltage level under which the internal blocking of the undervoltage stage is
activated; it is set in % of VBase. This setting must be lower than the setting StartVolt. The
setting can be very low, for example, lower than 10%.
VDepMode: Selection of the characteristic of the start level of the overcurrent stage as a
function of the phase-to-phase voltage; two options are available: Slope and Step. See
Technical Manual for details about the characteristics.
VDepFact: Slope mode: it is the pickup level of the overcurrent stage given in % of
Pickup_Curr when the voltage is lower than 25% of VBase; so it defines the first point of
the characteristic (VDepFact*Pickup_Curr/100*IBase ; 0.25*VBase).
Step mode: it is the pickup level of the overcurrent stage given in % of Pickup_Curr when
the voltage is lower than VHighLimit/100*VBase.
