It is also possible to increase the tripping value proportional to the current sum. In this case the pickup value is
stabilized with the arithmetic sum of all currents, i.e. with „IrestREF=“ Σ | I |=|I

Pickup
Normally, a differential protection does not need a „pickup“, since the fault detection and the trip condition are
identical. But the earth fault differential protection, like all protection functions, has a pickup function which is
required for tripping and serves as the starting point for a number of further activities.
As soon as the fundamental component of the differential current reaches approximately 85 % of the pickup
value, pickup is recognized. In this aspect, the differential current is represented by the sum of all in-flowing
currents.
