GROUP 1 – EARTH FAULT O/C
IN>1 Function DT Disabled, DT, IEC S Inverse, IEC V Inverse,
IEC E Inverse, UK LT Inverse, IEEE M Inverse,
IEEE V Inverse, IEEE E Inverse, US Inverse,
US ST Inverse
Sets the first stage earth fault overcurrent (IN>1) characteristics. The conditions are
‘disabled’, definite time (DT) or inverse definite minimum time (IDMT).
IN>1 Directional Directional Fwd Non-Directional, Directional Fwd,
Directional Rev
Sets the directional control for the first stage overcurrent element.
IN>1 VTS Block Non directional Block, Non directional
When the directional control for the ‘IN>1’ is set, sets the Voltage Transformer Supervision
(VTS) directionality. The operation of the VTS will block the stage or will revert to Non-
directional on operation of the VTS.
IN>1 Current Set 0.2 x In 0.08 x In 10.0 x In 0.01 x In
Sets the value for the negative sequence current threshold.
IN>1 Time Delay 1 s 0 s 200 s 0.01 s
Sets the time delay associated with IN>1. The setting is available only when DT function is
selected.
IN>1 Time Delay VTS 0.2 s 0 s 200 s 0.01 s
Sets the VTS time-delay. The VTS alarm will occur if VT fault occurs during more than the
VTS time-delay.
IN>1 TMS 1 0.025 1.2 0.005
Sets the Time Multiplier Setting (TMS) to adjust the operating time of the IEC IDMT
characteristic.
IN>1 Time Dial 7 0.5 15 0.1
Sets the time dial settings, to adjust the operating time of the IEEE/ US IDMT curves. The
Time Dial is a multiplier of the standard curve equation, to achieve the required tripping
time. The reference curve is based on Time Dial = 1.
Care: Certain manufacturer’s use a mid-range value of time dial = 5 or 7. So; it may be
necessary to divide by 5 or 7 to achieve parity.
IN>1 Reset Char DT DT, Inverse
Setting that determines the reset / release time reset characteristics.
IN>1 tRESET 0 s 0 s 100 s 0.01s
Sets the Time Hold Facility. The tReset is displayed when ‘IN>1 Reset Char’ definite time is
selected (IEEE/US inverse curves).
IN>2 Function DT Disabled, DT, IEC S Inverse, IEC V Inverse,
IEC E Inverse, UK LT Inverse, IEEE M Inverse,
IEEE V Inverse, IEEE E Inverse, US Inverse,
US ST Inverse
Sets the second phase overcurrent threshold (IN>2) characteristics. The conditions are
‘disabled’, definite time (DT) or inverse definite minimum time (IDMT).
Settings are the same as for the first stage overcurrent element.
