5-178 B90 LOW IMPEDANCE BUS DIFFERENTIAL SYSTEM – INSTRUCTION MANUAL
GROUPED ELEMENTS CHAPTER 5: SETTINGS
5
EFP1 PICKUP DELAY — This setting allows extra security when tripping the bus from the EFP element. This timer shall be set 
longer than the maximum delay between the breaker closing and picking up some current and the 
EFP MANUAL CLOSE 
signal. If the manual close signal, EFP MANUAL CLOSE, arrives before the timer expires, the element resets and misoperation 
due to signal transit times is avoided.
EFP1 BLOCK — This setting dynamically block/unblocks the element. A typical application is a by-pass isolator as shown 
below. When the isolator is closed, the current does not necessarily indicate on a fault between the CB and CT and the 
element shall be blocked. Therefore, the close status of the isolator shall be used as the block setting.
