*6)
The tripping delay must be at least 30 ms for all overcurrent stages that shall be
stabilized by the Inrush Blocking.
*7)
The measuring value IH2 / IH1 is released under the conditions IH1 > 0,3 In and
IH2 > 0,03 In, otherwise it is assumed as 0.
*8)
If the limit current »Imax« is used then the threshold should be at least 15% below
the current threshold of the protection stage that shall not be blocked in case of a short-
circuit current.
9.2.1.6
Switch Onto Fault (SOTF)
The accuracy and tripping times depend on the protection function that triggers the SOTF.
In case of the smallest possible setting values and SOTF tripping delay »t« = 0 ms, it is
possible to reach the following accuracy for switching onto a 3-pole short-circuit when the
WIC1 is self-powered:
