1, P742, P743 (AP) 6-
3. ID>1 Alarm Timer to not operate for an external fault shall be greater than the longest
protection time (such as line, overcurrent, etc…)
4. Slope k2 (ID>2) recommendation is 65%
To be always stable in the worth CT ratio conditions (between the biggest CT and the
smallest CT). 60% is OK as long as the CT ratio is less than 5.
1. ID>2 shall be lower than 80% of the minimum phase to phase fault current to operate
sub-cycle for the minimum fault and higher than 120% Iload Max (120% to allow 20%
margin) and if possible equal to 6 x (ID>1) to be insensitive to the worth CT saturation.
2. IDCZ>2 same as ID>2
3. Slope kCZ (IDCZ>2) recommendation is 30%
The requirement is to be able to trip for a fault that is counted twice by the Check Zone (for
example one and half circuit breaker substation)
