Siemens UL 489 - Short-time Delayed and Ground-fault Protection Switchable Characteristics

9 – 15
Short-time delayed short-circuit protection switchable to I
2
t
Trip units ETU745 - 776 make it possible to switch over from a constant delay time to an I
2
t-characteristic. In this way, the delay time
depends on the short-circuit current, but with a constant I
2
t
sd
-value, providing better coordination with downstream fuses.
In this case, the setting options for the short-time delay t
R
are as follows:
Switchover to the I
2
t
sd
characteristic can be made via:
-the t
sd
rotary coding switch (ETU745); this must be set to a value in the white area.
.
- the graphical display (ETU776)
- TD400 and the software "powerconfig"
- the COM modules with a PC with the software “powerconfig” installed  (page 29-2).
Changeable parameter sets
The trip unit ETU776 contains two complete sets of protective parameters and can be switched between them locally or remotely. 
This enables lowering instantaneous and short-time settings for arc flash mitigation as well as changing parameters when the source 
of supply changes between utility and generator.
Switching between parameter sets can be made manually via:
- the graphical display (ETU776)
or remotely via:
-the CublicleBUS with an input signal at the digital input module.
-the PROFIBUS DP
- the PROFINET IO, Modbus TCP and Modbus RTU.
