2.3.12. Earth fault protection (50N/51N)
The manager has two separate energizing inputs rated 1 A (I
0
>
and I
0
>>) and 5 A (I
02
> and I
02
>>), both of which can be used
simultaneously. The function of the stages I
0
> and I
0
>> is based
on the measured current connected to the input 4 (terminal
X1:7-8). The function of the stages I
02
> and I
02
>> is based on
the measured current connected to the input 5 (terminal X1:9-
10).
The terminal measures the fundamental frequency component
I
0
. Thus, the degree of attenuation of the third harmonic is at
least 60 dB. This contributes to the extremely high accuracy of
the earth fault protection, which is insensitive against
harmonics.
