circuit in cases where one or two primary phase
conductors are broken (I = 0 A) but there is no fault
current, or one or two secondary wirings are open
circuit.
The picture shows the Broken Conductor Protection
Menu and the menu comprises 3 parameters.
Protection
Can be set as “Active” or “Passive”, to have the protection into or out of service.
