In theory the I> overcurrent and I>> short circuit function can be disabled. If the I> stage is disabled and the I>>
value is set to >5x Is the earth current stage can’t trip if a measured current is higher than 5x Is.
The function is implemented due to accuracy of earth current calculation in combination with the lowest setting of
earth current element.
