Overcurrent Elements
Three levels of phase instantaneous/definite-time overcurrent elements are
available. The different levels are enabled with the E50P enable setting, as
shown in Figure 3.19.
All phase instantaneous/definite-time overcurrent elements are available for
use in any user-defined tripping or control scheme.
Settings Ranges
Accuracy
Pickup Operation
See the phase instantaneous/definite-time overcurrent element logic in
Figure 3.19. The pickup settings for each level (50P1P through 50P3P) are
compared to the magnitudes of the individual phase currents I
A
, I
B
, and I
C
.
The logic outputs in Figure 3.19 are Relay Word bits and operate as follows
(Level 1 example shown):
50P1 = 1 (logical 1), if at least one phase current exceeds the 50P1P setting
50P1 = 0 (logical 0), if no phase current exceeds the 50P1P setting
Ideally, set 50P1P > 50P2P > 50P3P so that overcurrent elements will display
in an organized fashion in event reports (see Figure 3.19 and Table 12.4).
