3 Phase – 51 Pickup. This setting selects the overcurrent pickup threshold for three-phase generator
connections. A 51 Pickup setting of 0.18 to 1.18 Aac (style X1X1) or 0.9 to 7.75 Aac (style X5X1) may be
entered.
3 Phase – 51 Time Dial. When three-phase generator connections are used, this setting selects the time
delay from when an overcurrent condition is detected and an overcurrent annunciation (trip) occurs. The
51 Time Dial setting operates in conjunction with the 51 Curve setting. When the F, Fixed Time curve
setting is selected, the 51 Time Dial setting is adjustable from 0 to 30 seconds and determines the
overcurrent time delay with no regard to the generator current level. When one of the 16 inverse curve
settings are selected, the 51 Time Dial setting (adjustable from a multiplier of 0 to 9.9) along with the level
of measured generator current determines the overcurrent time delay.
3 Phase –51 Curve. When three-phase generator connections are used, the 51 Curve setting operates in
conjunction with the 51 Time Dial setting. Selecting a 51 Curve setting of F, Fixed Time causes the 51
Time Dial setting to determine the overcurrent time delay with no regard to the generator current level.
When one of the 16 inverse curve settings are selected, the 51 Time Dial setting, along with the level of
the measured generator current, determines the overcurrent time delay. The overcurrent curve setting
selections are listed below.
• A, Standard Inverse
• B, Very Inverse
• C, Extremely Inverse
• D, Definite
• E1, Extremely Inverse
• E2, Extremely Inverse
• F, Fixed Time
• G, Long Inverse
• I1, Inverse
• I2, Inverse
• L1, Long Inverse
• L2, Long Inverse
• M, Moderately Inverse
• S1, Short Inverse
• S2, Short Inverse
• V1, Very Inverse
• V2, Very Inverse
3 Phase – 51 Alarm Configuration. This setting selects how a three-phase overcurrent condition is
annunciated. An overcurrent condition can be configured to trigger a pre-alarm, alarm, or no annunciation.
Single Phase – 51 Pickup. This setting selects the overcurrent pickup threshold for single-phase
generator connections. A 51 Pickup setting of 0.18 to 1.18 Aac (style X1X1) or 0.9 to 7.75 Aac (style
X5X1) may be entered.
Single Phase – 51 Time Dial. When single-phase generator connections are used, this setting selects the
time delay from when an overcurrent condition is detected and an overcurrent annunciation (trip) occurs.
The 51 Time Dial setting operates in conjunction with the 51 Curve setting. When the F, Fixed Time curve
setting is selected, the 51 Time Dial setting is adjustable from 0 to 30 seconds and determines the
overcurrent time delay with no regard to the generator current level. When one of the 16 inverse curve
settings are selected, the 51 Time Dial setting (adjustable from a multiplier of 0 to 9.9) along with the level
of measured generator current determines the overcurrent time delay.
Single Phase – 51 Curve. When single-phase generator connections are used, the 51 Curve setting

Single Phase – 51 Alarm Configuration. This setting selects how a single-phase overcurrent condition is
annunciated. An overcurrent condition can be configured to trigger a pre-alarm, alarm, or no annunciation.
