3.4.2 Instantaneous Measured Earth Fault Protection (50G)
Two instantaneous measured earth fault elements are provided in the 7SR21 relay. Four elements are provided in
the 7SR22 relay e.g. giving the option of using two elements set to forward and two to reverse.
Each  instantaneous  element  has  independent  settings  for  pick-up  current 50G-n  Setting  and  a  follower  time
delay 50G-n Delay. The instantaneous elements have transient free operation.
Where directional  elements are present the direction of  operation can  be  set using 50G-n Dir. Control setting.
Directional logic is provided independently for each 50G-n element.
Operation of the instantaneous measured earth fault elements can be inhibited from: -
Inhibit 50G-n A binary or virtual input, function key or remote data Comms.
79 E/F Inst Trips: 50G-n When ‘delayed’ trips only are allowed in the auto-reclose sequence
(79 E/F Prot’n Trip n = Delayed).
50G-n Inrush Action: Inhibit Operation of the current inrush detector function.
50G-n VTSAction: Inhibit Operation of the VT Supervision function (7SR22).
