3.24.2 51NA Protection Principle
A standard Double-Y-connected shunt capacitor bank configuration is shown in following diagram.
The fundamental frequency component of an unbalance current is measured on the common
neutral connecting the two balanced parts of a shunt capacitor bank.

The function can be enabled and disabled with the Operation setting. The corresponding
parameter values are “On” and “Off”. The operation of 51NA can be described by using a module
diagram. All the modules in the diagram are explained in the next sections.
3.24.2.1 Initiation logic
The initiation of neutral current unbalance protection can be described by using a module diagram.
The functional module diagram is shown as below: the unbalance current I_UNB is sampled in
device by Ia2 current.
