1.  SETTINGS 
The P74x  must be configured to the system and application by means of appropriate 
settings. The sequence in which the settings are listed and described in this chapter will be 
the protection setting, control and configuration settings and the disturbance recorder 
settings (see section P74x/EN GS for the detailed relay menu maps). The relay is supplied 
with a factory-set configuration of default settings.  
1.1  Relay settings configuration 
The relay is a multi-function device that supports numerous different protection, control and 
communication features. In order to simplify the setting of the relay, there is a configuration 
settings column which can be used to enable or disable many of the functions of the relay. 
The settings associated with any function that is disabled are made invisible; i.e. they are not 
shown in the menu. To disable a function change the relevant cell in the ‘Configuration’ 
column from ‘Enabled’ to ‘Disabled’. 
The configuration column controls which of the four protection settings groups is selected as 
active through the ‘Active settings’ cell. A protection setting group can also be disabled in the 
configuration column, provided it is not the present active group. Similarly, a disabled setting 
group cannot be set as the active group.  
The column also allows all of the setting values in one group of protection settings to be 
copied to another group. 
To do this firstly set the ‘Copy from’ cell to the protection setting group to be copied, then set 
the ‘copy to’ cell to the protection group where the copy is to be placed. The copied settings 
are initially placed in the temporary scratchpad, and will only be used by the relay following 
confirmation.
