3.23 Inverse-time Overcurrent Protection (Function Groups
IDMT1 and IDMT2)
The P631 features an inverse-time overcurrent protection function (IDMT
protection). The measured variables to be monitored by the respective IDMT
function are selected by a setting parameter.
Phase current values as well as negative-sequence and residual current
measured values are monitored.
The function group IDMT1 will serve as an example to illustrate the operation of
the IDMT protection functions. The same will apply to function group IDMT2.
