Protection functions
4.1 Long time delay protection against overcurrent
The Long time delay protection is designed to protect the cables, the busbars and the busbar
trunking from current overloads. It includes a thermal memory function that temporarily stores
the calculated thermal values so that the thermal eect of the cable heating remains available.
The phases and the neutral pole benefit independently from the Long time delay protection.
It can also be used to protect transformers or generators.

protection in accordance with IEC 60974-2.
The Long time delay protection is adjusted from the PROTECTION LONG TIME menu of the
sentinel Energy display, the panel display or the Hager Power setup software.

The Long time delay protection triggers between 1.05 and 1.20 x Ir.
Adjusting the tr time delay
The tr time delay defines the tripping time of the Long time delay overcurrent protection for a
current of 6 x Ir.
tr adjustment range
tr (s) = 0.5 to 25 s in increments of 0.5
