The dropout curve may be user-defined as well. This is advantageous when the overcurrent protection must
be coordinated with conventional electromechanical overcurrent relays located towards the source. If no user-
defined dropout curve is required, the element drops out as soon as the measured signal is less than approx.
95% of the pickup setting. When a new pickup is evoked, the timer starts at zero again.
The following figure shows by way of an example the logic diagram for the 67-TOC relay element of the direc-
tional inverse time overcurrent protection of the phase currents.

Interaction with Fuse Failure Monitor (FFM)
False or undesired tripping can be caused by a measuring voltage that can be caused by either short-circuit or
broken wire in the voltage transformer's secondary system or an operation of the voltage transformer fuse.
