3.2 CURRENT PROTECTION: VOLTAGE CONTROLLED OVERCURRENT (51V)
Each shaped overcurrent element 51-n Setting can be independently controlled by the level of
measured (control) input voltage.
For applied voltages above VCO Setting the 51-n element operates in accordance with its normal
current setting (see 3.1.3). For input Ph-Ph control voltages below VCO Setting a multiplier (51-n
Multiplier) is applied to reduce the 51-n pickup current setting.
51-n Multiplier is applied to each phase independently when its control phase-phase voltage falls
below VCO Setting. The voltage levels used for each phase over-current element are shown in the
table below. Relays with a Ph-N connection automatically calculate the correct Ph-Ph control voltage.
