DESCRIPTION
Default Curve 3
Default Curve 4
Setting for the tripping characteristic for the first stage earth fault overcurrent element.
IN>1 Directional 38 26 Non-Directional
Directional Fwd
Directional Rev
This setting determines the direction of measurement for first stage element.
IN>1 Current Set 38 29 0.2
From 0.08*I1 to 4.0*I1 in steps of 0.01*I1
[Courier Number (current)]
Pick-up setting for first stage overcurrent element
IN1>1 IDG Is 38 2A 1.5
From 1 to 4 in steps of 0.1
[Courier Number (decimal)]
This setting is set as a multiple of “IN>” setting for the IDG curve (Scandinavian) and determines the actual IED current threshold at which the
element starts.
IN>1 Time Delay 38 2C 1
From 0 to 200 in steps of 0.01
[Courier Number (time-seconds)]
Setting for the time-delay for the definite time setting if selected for first stage element. The setting is available only when DT function is
selected.
IN>1 TMS 38 2D 1
From 0.025 to 1.2 in steps of 0.005
[Courier Number (decimal)]
Setting for the time multiplier setting to adjust the operating time of the IEC IDMT characteristic.
IN>1 Time Dial 38 2E 1
From 0.01 to 100 in steps of 0.01
[Courier Number (decimal)]
Setting for the time multiplier setting to adjust the operating time of the IEEE/US IDMT curves. The Time Dial (TD) is a multiplier on the
standard curve equation, in order to achieve the required tripping time. The reference curve is based on TD = 1.
Care: Certain manufacturer's use a mid-range value of TD = 5 or 7, so it may be necessary to divide by 5 or 7 to achieve parity.
IN1>1 IDG Time 38 30 1.2
From 1 to 2 in steps of 0.01
[Courier Number (time-seconds)]
Setting for the IDG curve used to set the minimum operating time at high levels of fault current.
IN>1 Reset Char 38 32 DT
Inverse
Setting to determine the type of reset/release characteristic of the IEEE/US curves.
IN>1 tRESET 38 33 0
From 0 to 100 in steps of 0.01
[Courier Number (time-seconds)]
Setting that determines the reset/release time for definite time reset characteristic.
IN>2 Status 38 35 Disabled
Enabled
Enabled VTS
Enabled Ch Fail
En VTSorCh Fail
En VTSandCh Fail
Setting that defines second stage overcurrent operating status. Depending of this setting, IN>2 will be enabled permanently or in case of
Voltage Transformer Supervision (fuse fail) operation
IN>2 Status 38 35 Disabled
Enabled
Enabled VTS
Enabled Ch Fail
En VTSorCh Fail
En VTSandCh Fail
Setting that defines second stage overcurrent operating status. Depending of this setting, IN>2 will be enabled permanently or in case of
Voltage Transformer Supervision (fuse fail) operation, or in case of communication channel fail, or a combination (and /or) of both.
IN>2 Function 38 36 IEC S Inverse
IEC S Inverse
IEC V Inverse
