Note: Overcurrent Elements: Values shown are for 5-amp nominal current input models. (Divide
current values by five for 1-amp nominal current input models.)
Phase Overcurrent Elements for Phase and Three-Phase Faults - See Figure 2.18 and
Figure 2.21
51T Phase Time-Overcurrent Element
• Curve families: moderately inverse, inverse, very inverse, extremely inverse
• Time dial: 0.5 to 15.00 in 0.01 steps
• Pickup (51P): 1 to 12 A ±2% of setting ±0.1 A secondary
• Time delay or 1-cycle reset time
• Timing: ±5% and ±1 cycle for currents between 2 and 20 multiples of pickup
• Internally and externally torque controllable
50LT Phase Definite-Time Overcurrent Element
• Pickup (50L): 0.5 to 100 A ±2% of setting ±0.1 A secondary
• Time delay: 0 to 16,000 cycles in 1-cycle steps
• Internally and externally torque controllable
50H Phase Instantaneous Overcurrent Element
• Pickup: 0.5 to 100 A ±2% of setting ±0.1 A secondary
• Internally and externally torque controllable
50C Phase Instantaneous Overcurrent Element
• Pickup: 0.5 to 100 A ±2% of setting ±0.1 A secondary
