FUNCTION CHARACTERISTICS

— Phase directional overcurrent - 67
Preface
The protection is available in the XMR-B, XMR-V, XMR-P and XMR-G versions.
Four operation thresholds, independently adjustable with adjustable delay .
Each overcurrent element can be enabled or disabled.
The first two may be programmed with definite or inverse time according the IEC and ANSI/IEEE
standard, as well as with rectifier, I
2
t or EM curve.
The third and fourth thresholds with independent time.
Several operating mode are provided:
• Module or projection operating mode.
• One phase or two phase operating logic.
• 74VT internal and/or external logic.
Moreover several predefined blocking criteria are implemented (threshold trip may be inhibited by
start of the other thresholds, logic selectivity with internal and/or external elements, etc.).
To increase reliability for three phase short circuits close the VTs, a voltage memory is provided; this
memory voltage is used for reference to detect fault direction when all phase-to-phase voltages are
lower than 2% U
n
and remains valid for 1 s after voltage collapse.
Operation and settings
The first and second threshold (I

ding the following characteristic curves:

For all inverse time characteristics, following data applies:
• Asymptotic reference value (minimum pickup value): 1.1 I
PD
> or I
PD

• Minimum operate time: 0.1 s
• Range where the equation is valid:

1.1 ≤ I

) ≤ 20
• If I

(or I

) pickup ≥ 2.5 I
n
, the upper limit is 50 I
n
• For all definite time elements the upper limit for measuring is 50 I
n
.
Two different criteria may be selected:
• Phase current threshold overcoming (module)
Projection current threshold overcoming (projection) For both operating mode the phase-to-phase
voltage in quadrature with the current the polarizing voltage, is used as phase reference for phase
reference for the operating current (phase-to-phase voltage 90° lagging compared with current for
cosφ = 1).
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
