5.10.1.5 Differential trip indication (TRIPR)
In the event of a malfunction or interruption of the main circuits due to a fault
scenario, the trip reason of the interruption is indicated via the TRIPR bit field.
The following trip reasons are shown by the TRIPR bit array:
Table 19: Differential trip indication TRIPR
The transmitted trip reasons are reset when the main contacts of the PKE
are closed again and a power flow through the PKE trip block is detected.
The message 0x3 “phase failure/phase unbalance” is set if there is a phase
current difference of 50% between the highest phase current measured and
phase affected. This message is reset if the phase current difference is
below 25 %.
The “phase failure/phase unbalance” does not force the interruption of the
main circuits. To protect the connected motor in the event of phase loss/
phase unbalance, the tripping time in the event of an overcurrent is reduced
to 40 % compared to when the phase load is symmetrical.
The interruption of the main circuits is executed early if the thermal motor
image reaches 100 %.
5.10.1.6 Relative current value (I-REL)
The PKE-SWD indicates the actual motor current via the input byte 2. The
motor current is shown as a relative value in the ranges 0 % (0x00) to 255 %
(0xFF). The transferred relative value is calculated from the value of the high-
est phase current measured in relation to the set current value of the over-
load release. The accuracy of the relative current indication depends on the

The Test position on the PLE trip block and remote tripping
through output bit R-TRIP cause a trip when a phase current of
at least 85 percent of the minimum mark of the variable over-
load release on the PKE trip block flows through all three main
circuits (for example PKE-XTUA-4
