1)
ETU powered in at least 2 phases or self-powered with auxiliary voltage. In all other cases,
the following tolerances apply:
Tripping between 1.05 and 1.2 x I
r
I ± 15 % ≤ 60 ms
Other protection functions
Enhanced protection functions - only available with
MF Advanced metering function
Directed short-circuit protection DST
Protection function can be enabled/disabled
Enabling/disabling of tripping on directed (direc-
tional) short-circuit protection
