FUNCTION CHARACTERISTICS
Undercurrent - 37
Preface
One operation threshold, adjustable (I<
def
) with adjustable delay (t<
def
).
The threshold operates with defi nite time characteristic.
Operation and settings
Each of three side L currents are compared with the setting value (I<
def
). The start and trip logic may
be selected OR or AND.
With OR selection, a start is issued when at least one of the three currents goes down the adjust-
able threshold (START); with AND selection, a start is issued when all the three currents go down
the adjustable threshold.
After expiry of the associated operate time (t<
def
), a trip command is issued; if instead the currents
exceed the threshold, the element is restored.
The element can be enabled or disabled by setting ON or OFF the State parameter inside the Set
\ Profi le A(or B) \ Undecurrent-37 \ I< Element \ Defi nite time menu.
The undecurrent element may be disabled by means MMI. During the command, the trip output
relays I<TR-K (with latched or no-latched operation mode and, de-energized or energized logic) are
forced in the rest state, the“37 DISABLED” message is displayed and all the LEDs fl ash until the
command is ended.
The following block criteria is available:
Logical block (Block1)
If the I<BLK1 enabling parameter are set to ON and a binary input is designed for logical block
(Block1), the protection is blocked off whenever the given input is active.
The trip timer is held in reset condition, so the operate time counting starts when the input block
goes down.
[1]
The enabling parameter is available inside the Set \ Profi le A(or B) \ Undercurrent - 37
\ I< Element \ Setpoints menu, while the Block1 function must be assigned to the selected binary
input inside the Set \ Board1(2) inputs \ Binary input IN1-1...INx-x menus.
The parameter may be adjusted independently for both profi les A or B.
Note 1 The description of the logical block (Block 1) function may be found in the “Logic Block” paragraph inside CONTROL AND MONITORING sec-
tion.
