5.3.1. Overcurrent protection
Overcurrent stage I> (50/51)
Current setting range: 0.10 – 5.00 pu
Definite time characteristic:
- Operating time 0.08** - 300.00 s (step 0.02)
Inverse time characteristic:
- 4 characteristic curve sets: (IEC60255-
3)
- Time multiplier k
EI, VI, NI, LTI *)
0.05 – 3.20
Starting time <60 ms
Resetting time <60 ms
Resetting ratio 0.97
Inaccuracy:
- Starting ±2% of set value
- Operating time definite time
- Operating time inverse time
±1% or ±30 ms
±5% or at least ±30 ms (I< 50 x In)
*) EI = Extremely Inverse, VI = Very Inverse, NI = Normal inverse, LTI = Long Time Inverse
**) This is the instantaneous time i.e. the minimum total operational time including the fault
detection time and operation time of the trip contacts.
Overcurrent stages I>> and I>>> (50/51)
Current setting range 0.10 – 40.00 pu
Definite time characteristic:
- Operating time 0.05* - 300.00 s (step 0.01)
Starting time <30 ms
Resetting time <60 ms
Resetting ratio 0.97
Inaccuracy:
- Starting ±2% of set value
- Operate time ±1% or ±30 ms
*) This is the instantaneous time i.e. the minimum total operational time including the fault
detection time and operation time of the trip contacts.
Phase unbalance stage I2> (46)
Current setting range 5 – 70% I2/I1
