Setting of the protection parameter for line and generator protection
The settings vary depending on the trip unit (ETU10, ETU12, ETU20, ETU22, LCD-ETU40
and LCD-ETU42). The following parameters can be set depending on the version:
L overload release I
R
:
The overload release I
R
is set to the operating current I
B
of the circuit to be protected. This
takes place with the help of the left rotary encoding switch I
R
that is set to the factor I
B
/I
n
(example: IB = 250 A, In = 315 A => setting factor 250 / 315 = 0.79 corresponds to 0.8 on
the rotary encoding switch).
Delay time t
r
:
The delay time (or time-lag class) t
r
can be set using another rotary encoding switch. The set
time is the tripping time at 6 x I
r
. In this way, selectivity can be achieved in the overload
range, for example, when the rated current range scarcely differs.
S short-time delay short-circuit protection I
sd
:
The short-time delay short-circuit protection can be set with regard to the tripping value of
the current I
sd
and the delay time t
sd
. I
sd
refers to the tripping value of the overload release I
R
and can be set between 1.5 to 10 x I
R
(depending on the circuit breaker).
Delay time t
sd
:
Depending on the requirements and on the trip unit, selectivity in the relevant circuit can be
achieved with appropriate selection of the delay time t
sd
. If the rotary encoding switch is in
the "ON" range, this means the delay time is current-dependent. The I
2
t value is constant.
For example, the higher the current, the faster the circuit breaker will trip (equivalent to the
overload release I
R
). In contrast, the delay time in the "OFF" position is current-independent,
that is, constant. If the current reaches the set value I
sd
, the circuit breaker trips after the set
time t
sd
. The degree to which the current exceeds the value I
sd
is not important.
