12.9. VERIFY OF PROTECTION COORDINATION L-L, L-N AND L-PE
Purpose of the test
Test the coordination of protective devices (typically MCB or fuse) present in a Single-
phase or Three-phase installation as a function of the limit time of fault extinction by the
protection set by the user and the calculated value of the short-circuit current.
Parts of the system to be checked
The test must be performed at the point in which the minimum short-circuit current is
possible, normally at the end of the line controlled by the protection device in the normal
condition of the line. The test must performed between Phase-Phase in the Three-phase
installations and between Phase-PE or Phase-PE in the Single-phase installation
Allowable values
The instrument performs the comparison between the calculated value of short-circuit
current and the Ia = tripping current of the protection device within the specified time,
accordinf to to following expressions:
aMinLLSC
II 
 2_
Three-phase system  Loop L-L impedance
aMinNLSC
II 
 _
Single-phase system  Loop L-N impedance
aMinPELSC
II 
 _
Single-phase system  Loop L-PE impedance
where:
Isc L-L_Min2F = Prospective short-circuit current minimum double phase L-L
Isc L-N_Min = Prospective short-circuit current minimum L-N
Isc L-PE_Min = Prospective short-circuit current minimum L-PE
The calculation of prospective short-circuit current is performed by the instrument based
on the fault loop impedance measurement in compliance with the following relationships
