Other protection functions may overlap with these functions during testing, it may be useful to disable some 
functions to avoid ambiguity. Measured EF & Restricted EF protections can be Enabled/Disabled individually or 
as groups in the ‘Function Config’ menu.  
These elements can be allocated to W1 or W2 current inputs by relay settings, ensure that current is injected on 
the correct input. 
Derived EF elements can be separated from Measured EF by secondary injection of current through the phase 
input circuit only.
