It is possible to increase the tripping value in the tripping area proportional to the arithmetic sum of all

Pickup
Normally, a differential protection does not need a “pickup”, since the condition for a fault detection is iden-
tical to the trip condition. As with all protective functions the earth fault differential protection has a pickup
that displays a precondition for tripping and defines the fault inception instant for a number or further activi-
ties.
As soon as the fundamental wave of the differential current exceeds 85 % of the pickup value, fault detection
is indicated. In this aspect, the differential current is represented by the sum of all in-flowing currents.
