n
(step 0.01); duration of restraint 2 to 250 cycles, or ∞; relay can
detect an evolving internal fault and release this restraint.
Time delay before trip 0.00 to 60.00 s (step 0.01 s), or ∞

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.

Operating Tolerances (with default settings)

Set time delays ±1% of setting value or 10 ms, whichever is greater
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 80% and 120% of nominal frequency.
(Trip area is dependent on frequencies; see Figure 5.4.)
