2.5 Single-Phase Overcurrent Protection

2.5 Single-Phase Overcurrent Protection
The 1-phase overcurrent protection evaluates the current that is measured by the sensitive Ι
Applications
•
Simple ground fault protection at the transformer
•
Sensitive tank protection

Description

2.5.1
The single-phase definite time overcurrent ground protection is illustrated by the tripping characteristic as
shown in Figure
sensitivity a particularly narrow band filter is used. The current pickup thresholds and tripping times can be
set. The detected current is compared to the pickup value 50 1Ph-1 PICKUP or 50 1Ph-2 PICKUP and
reported if this is violated. After expiry of the respective delay time 50 1Ph-1 DELAY or 50 1Ph-2 DELAY,
the trip command is issued. The two elements together form a two-stage protection. The dropout value is
approximately 95% of the pickup value for currents greater than I > 0.3 · INom.
The current filter is bypassed if currents are extremely high in order to achieve a short tripping time. This
occurs automatically as soon as the instantaneous value of the current exceeds the set value of the 50 1Ph-2
PICKUP element by at least factor 2 · √2.
