Each phase has its own phase-specific starting and operating outputs: ST_A, ST_B,
ST_C, OPR_A, OPR_B and OPR_C.
Once activated, each timer activates its START output. Depending on the value of
the Operating curve type setting, the time characteristics are according to DT or
IDMT. When the operation timer has reached the value of Operate delay time in
the DT mode or the maximum value defined by the inverse time curve, the
OPERATE output is activated.
When the programmable IDMT curve is selected, the operation time characteristics
are defined by the parameters Curve parameter A, Curve parameter B, Curve
parameter C, Curve parameter D and Curve parameter E.
The shortest IDMT operation time is adjustable. The setup can be
done with a global parameter in the HMI menu: Configuration/
System/IDMT Sat point. More information can be found in the
General function block features
If a drop-off situation happens, that is, a fault suddenly disappears before the
operation delay is exceeded, the timer reset state is activated. The functionality of
the timer in the reset state depends on the combination of the Operating curve type,
Type of reset curve and Reset delay time settings. When the DT characteristic is
selected, the reset timer runs until the set Reset delay time value is exceeded. When
the IDMT curves are selected, the Type of reset curve setting can be set to
"Immediate", "Def time reset" or "Inverse reset". The reset curve type "Immediate"
causes an immediate reset. With the reset curve type "Def time reset", the reset
time depends on the Reset delay time setting. With the reset curve type "Inverse
reset", the reset time depends on the current during the drop-off situation. If the drop-
off situation continues, the reset timer is reset and the START output is deactivated.
The "Inverse reset" selection is only supported with ANSI or
programmable IDMT operating curves. If another operating curve
type is selected, an immediate reset occurs during the drop-off
situation.
The Time multiplier setting is used for scaling the IDMT operating and reset times.
The setting parameter Minimum operate time defines the minimum desired
operating time for IDMT. The setting is applicable only when the IDMT curves are
used.
The Minimum operate timeoperating setting should be used with
great care because the operation time is according to the IDMT
operating curve, but always at least the value of the Minimum
