Tripping Characteristic - Pickup of differential function

For triggering of internal tasks, events and fault records the

differential protection function needs a pickup information. This
pickup becomes active, if the differential current or the restraint
current is over an internal threshold
(dotted line). Each external large current leads to a pickup.
Pickup doesnt always mean internal failure!

Tripping Characteristic - Motor Start

Typical for motor start is the starting current and the superimposed dc component with a large
time constant. The two Ct-sets may transform this dc component differently.
The result is a differential current and the risk of an over-function is given.
Detection of motor starting: Increases the pick-up values for a settable time

Low impedance Restricted Earth Fault (REF) (1 of 2)

The REF measures the Neutral current of the object ( ISP = 3I0 ) and,
depending on the angle () between 3I0 and the also measured sum
of the phase currents
( 3I0 = IL1 + IL2 + IL3 ), decides for internal or external fault.
The sensitivity of the REF is almost independent from the load of the object.
(The sensitivity of the Differential Function especially for high ohm faults will be
reduced by the load due to the slope of its Tripping Characteristic ).

The REF can be stetted to 0.1 I/INO (min. 0.05) and is therefore more sensitive as
the Differential Protection (even without load).
