The earth unit setting depends on the characteristics of the
line where the unit is installed. In general, the earth fault
values are high enough to be detected as overcurrent.
Even in isolated or resonant earthed neutral networks, the
fault value in transformer protection installations is clearly
different from the capacitive currents of the lines. The values
of the setting parameters must guarantee selectivity with
the main switch protections. Given the variety of protection
criteria and types of neutral used in the networks, a single
parameterisation cannot be indicated; each case requires a
specific parameterisation. For transformers up to 2000 kVA,
the settings below are given as a general example. It must
be ensured that they properly apply to the protections
upstream (general, line or main switch protections, among
others.)
