Metering functions of the ETUs of the 6-series
The electronic trip units of the 6-series can be expanded with the metering functions MF Basic
or MFAdvanced. These measure the voltage between the phases with internal voltage tap -
optionally on the incoming or outgoing feeder side, i.e. internally before or after the contact
interruption point - and can therefore calculate and transmit values for power, energy, phase
dierence, etc., taking the current signals into consideration.
• MF Basic provides many measured values in accordance with IEC61557‑12
• MF Advanced provides not only the measured values described but also many enhanced
protective functions, which are listed in Chapter Parameters of the trip units (Page 66). In this
way, the ETU can also power the metering module MFAdvanced directly from the busbar
itself if no auxiliary power supply is provided via the Breaker Connect module. Faults such as
overvoltages in the power system can therefore be detected before the contacts of the circuit
breaker are closed.
