4.8. Current unbalance protection
4.8.1. General description
It contains the timed and instantaneous unbalance
protection functions.
The protection works exactly in the same way as the phase
overcurrent protection, taking as measurement input 3
times the modulus of negative sequence current.
I
2
= Ia + a
2
• Ib + a • Ic
Where a=1|120°
It must be taken into account that the phase
sequence A-B-C or C-B-A is programmable, so that
the I
2
depends on that setting.
