Limits of fault current measurement 
In the event of increasing primary currents, imbalances in the cable routing and current loads 
in individual cables increasingly cause what appear to be residual currents that are detected 
by the evaluation units. Spurious tripping may therefore occur if excessively low monitoring 
limit values have been set at high primary currents. Because of these tolerances in the 
configuration, the measuring accuracy no longer corresponds to the stated range of ±7.5 %. 
To avoid spurious tripping, we recommend setting the limit values to the minimum values 
listed in the following graphic, depending on the applicable primary current.
