Measurement of the fundamental comp.:
This method of measurement processes the sampled current values and filters out the fundamental
component numerically.
•
Measurement of the RMS value:
This method of measurement determines the current amplitude from the sampled values according to
the defining equation of the RMS value. Harmonics are included in the analysis.
Voltage-Dependent Pickup Threshold
The pickup threshold of the overcurrent stage depends on the voltage magnitude. A lower voltage decreases
the current pickup value (see Figure 6-27). In the range between V/V
rated
= 1.00 to 0.25 a linear, directly
proportional dependence is realized.

With:
V = Measured phase-to-phase voltage

rated
= Rated voltage (parameter Rated voltage in the function block General of the protec-
tion function group)
PU sett. = Pickup threshold setting (parameter address: _11491:3)
PU(V) = Applied pickup threshold according to the voltage influence
The minimum current pickup threshold value is 0.03 * Irated. This value cannot be decreased any further even
not by voltage-dependent pickup threshold factor.
Decreasing the pickup threshold is carried out phase-selectively. The assignment of voltages to current-
carrying phases is shown in Table 6-1.

Pickup and Dropout Behaviors of the Inverse-Time Characteristic Curve According to IEC and ANSI
When the input variable exceeds the threshold value by a factor of 1.1, the inverse-time characteristic curve is
processed.
