Upper threshold value 
Definition of upper threshold value (I▲)  
Setting the threshold value for current overshoot for the CO contact (I▲) or the 
semiconductor output (I!▲). If one of the monitored parameters overshoots this threshold 
value, the current monitoring relay will switch the output relay or the semiconductor output 
once the set tripping delay time (Del, see the chapter titled Tripping delay time (Page 720)) 
has el
ap
sed. 
Setting range 
The setting range for the upper threshold value is 1.6 A to 16 A (3RR2241) or 4 A to 40 A 
(3RR2242) as well as OFF. The increment is 0.1 A. 
 
 
Note 
Setting OFF selects "Current undershoot" monitoring mode, see the chapter titled Lower 
threshold val
ue (Page 716). 
 
Factory setting 
The upper threshold value is factory-set to 3.0 A (3RR2241-.F.30)/8.0 A (3RR2242-.F.30). 
Changes to settings 
Changes to the upper threshold value can be made using the arrow keys. Press and hold 
down the keys to speed up this process. 
 
NOTICE 
 
Deactivating monitoring 
If both threshold values are deactivated (OFF), monitoring will cease. 
  Current overshoot 
  Current undershoot 
  Blocking current 
The following parameters continue to be monitored: 
  Fault current (if activated) 
  Incorrect phase sequence (if activated) 
  Phase failure 
The up-to-date measured value is displayed permanently.
