It is possible to increase the tripping value in the tripping area proportional to the arith-
metic sum of all currents, i.e. with the sum of the magnitudes „IrestREF=“ i.e.

Pickup Normally, a differential protection does not need a „pickup“, since the condition for a
fault detection is identical 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 activities.
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 rep-
resented by the sum of all in-flowing currents.
