Shrink time
For each of the programmed thresholds with definite time characteristic you can set the contracted
time by setting to ON the parameter EnTcINe>def, EnTcINe>>def and regulating the con-
tracted time (tcINe>def, tcINe>>def) and operating time (tatcINe>def, tatcINe>>def).
Once the breaker closes, during the operating time (e.g.: tatcINe>def), the value of the trip time
(e.g.: tNe>def ) is replaced by the contracted time (e.g.: tcINe>def ); when the operating time
expires the trip time is reset (e.g.: tNe>def ).
The related parameters are available in the menu Set \ Protections \ Neutral overcurrent - 51N(E) \
Threshold INe> (Threshold INe>>) \ Definite time.
Second harmonic restraint
For each of the thresholds (I
Ne
>, I
Ne
>>) you can set a second harmonic restraint block by setting to
ON the parameter INe>2ndh-REST, INe>>2ndh-REST.
The related parameters are available in the menu Set \ Configuration parameters A(or B) \ Neutral
overcurrent - 51N(E) \ Threshold INe> (Threshold INe>>) \ Parameters.
