Adjusting the tsd time delay
Adjustment of the tsd time delay is done from the SHORT TIME DELAY PROTECTION
menu.

An inverse time function I²t=K can be activated or deactivated when adjusting the short time
delay.
This I²t function makes it possible to improve selectivity with downstream devices. It activates
at the Isd threshold and works up to 10 x Ir.
Example use of the I²t function

Activating the I²t function on circuit breaker 1 achieves total selectivity, otherwise selectivity
remains partial.
ATTENTION
The I²t function is deactivated by default. Activate it if selectivity needs to be improved.
