3.3.2 Time Delayed Derived Earth Fault Protection (51N)

Optionally two time delayed derived earth fault elements are provided, each can be selected to either winding 1 or
winding 2.
51N-n Setting sets the pick-up current level.
A number of shaped characteristics are provided. An inverse definite minimum time (IDMT) characteristic is
selected from IEC, ANSI or user defined curves using 51N-n Char. A time multiplier is applied to the
characteristic curves using the 51N-n Time Mult setting. Alternatively, a definite time lag delay (DTL) can be
chosen using 51N-n Char. When Delay (DTL) is selected the time multiplier is not applied and the 51N-n Delay
(DTL) setting is used instead.
The 51N-n Reset setting can apply a definite time delayed or ANSI (DECAYING) reset. The reset mode is
significant where the characteristic has reset before issuing a trip output – see 'Applications Guide'.
A minimum operate time for the characteristic can be set using the 51N-n Min. Operate Time setting.
A fixed additional operate time can be added to the characteristic using the 51N-n Follower DTL setting.
Operation of the time delayed earth fault elements can be inhibited from:
