General
When selecting the time overcurrent protection in DIGSI, a dialog box appears with several tabs for setting the
individual parameters. Depending on the functional scope specified during configuration of the protection
functions under addresses 112 Charac. Phase and 113 Charac. Ground, the number of tabs can vary. If
address FCT 50/51 was set to Definite Time, or Charac. Ground was set to Definite Time, then
only the settings for the definite time elements are available. The selection of TOC IEC or TOC ANSI makes
available additional inverse time characteristics. The superimposed high-set elements 50-2, 50-3 or 50N-2,
50N-3 are available in all these cases.
Parameter 250 50/51 2-ph prot can also be set to activate two-phase overcurrent protection.
Under address 1201 FCT 50/51, overcurrent protection for phases and under address 1301 FCT 50N/51N,
the ground overcurrent protection can be switched ON or OFF.
Pickup values, time delays, and characteristics for ground protection are set separately from the pickup values,
time delays and characteristic curves associated with phase protection. Because of this, relay coordination for
ground faults is independent of relay coordination for phase faults, and more sensitive settings can often be
applied to directional ground protection.
Depending on the setting of parameter 251 CT Connect., the device can also be used in specific system
configuration with regard to current connections. Further information can be found under Section

Measurement Methods
The comparison values to be used for the respective element can be set in the setting sheets for the elements.
•
Measurement of the fundamental harmonic (standard method):
This measurement method processes the sampled values of the current and filters in numerical order the
fundamental harmonic so that the higher harmonics or transient peak currents remain largely unconsid-
ered.
•
Measurement of the true RMS value
The current amplitude is derived from the sampled values in accordance with the definition equation of
the true RMS value. This measurement method should be selected when higher harmonics are to be
considered by the function (e.g. in capacitor banks).
•
Measurement with instantaneous values
This procedure compares the instantaneous values to the set threshold. The element picks up at 2 · √2 ·
setting value (rms). It does not perform a mean-value calculation and is thus sensitive with regard to
disturbances. This measurement method should only be selected if an especially short pickup time of the
element is required. In this measurement procedure, the operating time of the element is reduced
compared to the measurement of effective values or fundamental harmonics (see "Technical Data").
The type of the comparison values can be set under the following addresses:
50-3 element
50-2element
50-1 element
51 element
50N-3 element
50N-2 element
50N-1 element
51Nelement
High-set Current Elements 50-2, 50-3 (phases)
The pickup current of the high-set element 50-2 PICKUP or50-3 PICKUP can be set at address 1202 or
1217. The corresponding delay time 50-2 DELAY or 50-3 DELAY can be configured under address 1203 or
