6.9.1 Method of Operation
Measured Values The phase currents are fed to the device via the input transformers of the measuring
input. The residual current 3·I
0
is either measured directly or calculated from the
phase currents, depending on the ordered device version and usage of the fourth
current input I
4
of the device.
If I
4
is connected in the current transformer star-point connection circuit the residual
(earth) current is directly available as a measured quantity.
If the device is supplied with the high sensitivity current input for I
4
(ordered version),
this current I
4
— under consideration of the factor ,,SK&7 (address , refer to
Sub-section 6.1.1) of the power system data 1 — is used. As the linear range of this
measuring input is severely restricted in the high range (above approx. 1.6 A), this
current is only evaluated up to an amplitude of approx. 1 A. In the event of larger
currents, the device automatically switches over to the evaluation of the zero
sequence current calculated from the phase currents. Naturally, all three phase
currents obtained from a set of three star connected current transformers must be
available and connected to the device. The processing of the earth current is then also
possible if very small as well as large earth fault currents may occur.
If the fourth current input I
4
is used e.g. for a power transformer star-point current or
for the earth current of a parallel line, the device derives the earth current from the
phase currents. Naturally in this case also all three phase currents derived from a set
of three star connected current transformers must be available and connected to the
device.
Definite Time High
Set Overcurrent
Stage I>>
Each phase current is numerically filtered and then compared with the set value
,SK!!, the earth current with ,!!. After expiry of the associated time delays 7
,SK!! respectively 7,!! a trip command is issued. The reset threshold is approx.
5 % below the pick up threshold, but at least 1,5 % of rated current below the pick-up
threshold.
Figure 6-83 shows the logic diagram of the I>>–stages. They may be blocked via the
binary input ´!%/2&.2&,!!”. The binary input “!2&,QVW75,3” and the
function module “Switch on to fault” are common to all stages and further described
below. They may, however, separately affect the phase and/or earth current stages.
This is accomplished with the following setting parameters:
• ,!!7HOHS%, (address ), which determines whether a non-delayed trip of
this stage is possible (<HV) via the binary input “!2&,QVW75,3” or not (1R)
• ,!!627) (address ), which determines whether non-delayed tripping of this
stage is possible (<HV) or not (1R) following switching of the feeder on to a dead
fault.
