Residual overcurrent - 50N/51N
Preface
Three operation thresholds, independently adjustable (I
E
>, I
E
>>, I
E
>>>) with adjustable delay (t
E
>,
t
E
>>, t
E
>>>).
The first one (I
E
>) may be programmed with definite or inverse time according the IEC and ANSI/IEEE
standard, as well as with EM curve.
The second and third thresholds (I
E
>>, I
E
>>>) with independent time.
For each threshold a reset time can be set (t
E>RES
, t
E>>RES
, t
E>>>RES
) useful to reduce the clearing
time for intermittent faults.
The first threshold trip may be inhibited by start of the second and/or third threshold (I
E
>>, I
E
>>>).
Similarly the second threshold trip may be inhibited by start of the third threshold (I
E
>>>).
Operation and settings
The residual fundamental frequency current is compared with the setting value. Current above the
associated pickup value is detected and a start is issued. After expiry of the associated operate time
a trip command is issued; if instead the current drops below the threshold, the element is restored.
The first threshold (I
E
>) may be programmed with definite or inverse time according the following
characteristic curves:

All residual overcurrent elements can be enabled or disabled by setting ON or OFF the IE> En-
able, IE>> Enable and/or IE>>> Enable parameters inside the Set \ Profile A(or B)\ Residual
overcurrent-50N/51N \ IE> Element (IE>> Element, IE>>> Element) \ Setpoints menus.
The first overcurrent element can be programmed with definite or inverse time characteristic by
setting the IE>Curve parameter (DEFINITE, IEC/BS A, IEC/BS B, IEC/BS C, ANSI/IEE MI,
ANSI/IEE VI, ANSI/IEE EI, EM) available inside the Set \ Profile A(or B) \ Residual overcurrent-
50N/51N \ IE> Element \ Setpoints menu.
Note 1 When the input value is more than 20 times the set point , the operate time is limited to the value corresponding to 20 times the set point
