The operating times depend on the communication speed. The following data require a transmission rate of 512 kbit/s.
Pickup/trip times of the 87N L: IN(s)> element at 50 Hz 
or 60 Hz approx. 
minimum 24 ms to 29 ms 
Dropout times of the I87N L: I-DIFF> element approx.  minimum  35 ms to 50 ms 
Minimum current for direction determination  5 % of setting value or 1 % I
Nom
Delay of the 87N L: I-DIFF> element approx.  1 % of setting value or 10 ms
Frequency range 45 Hz to 55 Hz at 50 Hz 
55 Hz to 65 Hz at 60 Hz 
25 Hz to 45 Hz at 50 Hz  
30 Hz to 55 Hz at 60 Hz
