Sub-section 6.1.1) of the power system data 1 — is used. As the linear range of this
measuring input is severely restricted in the high range (above approx. 1.6 A), this
current is only evaluated up to an amplitude of approx. 1 A. In the event of larger
currents, the device automatically switches over to the evaluation of the zero
sequence current calculated from the phase currents. Naturally, all three phase
currents obtained from a set of three star connected current transformers must be
available and connected to the device. The processing of the earth current is then also
possible if very small as well as large earth fault currents may occur.
If the fourth current input I
for the earth current of a parallel line, the device derives the earth current from the
phase currents. Naturally in this case also all three phase currents derived from a set
of three star connected current transformers must be available and connected to the
device.
Each phase current is numerically filtered and then compared with the set value

5 % below the pick up threshold, but at least 1,5 % of rated current below the pick-up
threshold.
Figure 6-83 shows the logic diagram of the I>>–stages. They may be blocked via the
binary input ´!%/2&. 2& ,!!". The binary input "!2& ,QVW75,3" and the
function module "Switch on to fault" are common to all stages and further described
below. They may, however, separately affect the phase and/or earth current stages.
This is accomplished with the following setting parameters:
• ,!! 7HOHS%, (address ), which determines whether a non-delayed trip of
