The Operate delay to be set is derived from the time-grading schedule that has been prepared for the
system.
2nd stage (high-current stage):
This tripping stage can also be used for current grading. This applies in the case of very long lines with low
source impedance or ahead of high reactances (for example, transformers, shunt reactors). Set the
Threshold parameter to ensure that the stage does not pick up in case of a short circuit at the end of the
line.
Set the Operate delay parameter to 0 or to a low value.
Siemens recommends that the threshold values be determined with a system analysis. The following example
illustrates the principle of grading with a current threshold on a long line.
