of restraint (2 to 250 cycles, or ∞); relay can detect an
evolving internal fault and release this restraint.
Inrush restraint based on 2nd harmonic current 10% to 80% of fundamental current (step 1%); option to
crossblock other phases for a selectable duration (in
cycles); is released when the differential current exceeds
87HS.
Restraint based on 3rd, 4th, or 5th harmonic current 10% to 80% of fundamental current (step 1%); option to
crossblock other phases for a selectable duration (in
cycles); is released when the differential current exceeds a

Time delay before trip (separate settings for 87T and 87HS) 0.00 to 60.00 s (step 0.01 s), or ∞
Time delay before reset 0.00 to 60.00 s (step 0.01 s)
Events that can control signal contacts or trip contacts Change in operational status; pickup events, start of time
delay before trip; start and end of restraint; trip events. All
events are logged, as are the differential and restraint
current levels at the time of a trip.

Effect of Environmental Influences on Times and Tolerances
Supply power voltage ≤ 1% if between 80% and 115% of nominal voltage
Ambient temperature ≤ 0.5% / 10 K if between 0°C and 40°C (32°F and 104°F)
System frequency ≤ 1% if between 95% and 105% of nominal frequency.
Note:
87T function is blocked when frequency is less
than about 85% of the nominal frequency, or more
than about 120%; see Figure 4.12.
