Dropout
The greater dropout differential (= | pickup value – dropout value |) of the following 2 criteria
applies:
Dropout differential derived from the parameter 
Dropout ratio
If this parameter is not available, a dropout ratio of 95 % applies for overcurrent and of 105 % for undercur-
rent functionality.
