Ground Overcurrent
The Ground Overcurrent element trips the IntelliRupter fault interrupter when the
computed residual of the three-phase elements exceeds the pickup value for the time
value set by the Inverse Curve or Denite Time settings.
Ground Check box—Select to congure this element.
Inverse Segment—Select from the drop-down list of inverse-curve names or select
the None option. When the None option is selected, only the Denite Time settings
will be used.
Min. Trip—This is the current (in primary amperes) at which the inverse curve begins
timing. (Range: 6-16,000; Step: 1) The stated maximum is for 15-kV IntelliRupter fault
interrupters; 27-kV and 38-kV models are limited to 12,500 amps maximum.
Min. Time—This is the time (in seconds) dening the fastest response of the inverse
curve portion of the TCC curve. (Range: 0.000-100.000; Step: 0.001)
Time Mult—This is the time multiplier for the inverse curve. (Range: 0.01-15.00;
Step: 0.01)
Time Adder—This is the time adder for the inverse curve. (Range: -10.000-100.000;
Step: 0.001)
Low Cutoff—This is the current (in primary amperes) at which the TCC curve begins
timing. This value must be equal to or greater than the lowest pickup value of the inverse
curve, the Denite Time 1 element, and the Denite Time 2 element. (Range: 6-16,000;
Step: 1) The stated maximum is for 15-kV IntelliRupter fault interrupters; 27-kV and
38-kV models are limited to 12,500 amps maximum.
Reset—Select the reset method for the inverse curve from the drop-down list:
D/T (Denite Time) or E/M (Electromechanical) mode.
Reset Time—If the Denite Time reset mode is selected, enter the time delay for the
reset (in seconds). (Range: 0.000-600.000; Step: 0.001)
Denite Time 1 Min. Trip—This is the current (in primary amperes) at which the
Denite Time 1 element picks up. (Range: 6-16,000; Step: 1) The stated maximum
is for 15-kV IntelliRupter fault interrupters; 27-kV and 38-kV models are limited to
12,500 amps maximum.
Denite Time 1 Min. Time—This is the time delay (in seconds) after which the Denite
Time 1 element trips. (Range: 0.000-600.000; Step: 0.001)
Denite Time 2 Min. Trip—This is the current (in primary amperes) at which the
Denite Time 2 element picks up. (Range: 6-16,000; Step: 1) The stated maximum
is for 15-kV IntelliRupter fault interrupters; 27-kV and 38-kV models are limited to
12,500 amps maximum.
Denite Time 2 Min. Time—This is the time delay (in seconds) after which the Denite
Time 2 element trips. (Range: 0.000-600.000; Step: 0.001)
