CHAPTER 5: SETTINGS
a sum of all sources configured in the current differential element, to detect system disturbances. If the weak condition
exists at one terminal, the voltage-based disturbance detector measures the changes in three-phase voltages (DVA, DVB,
DVC).
The adaptive level detector operates as follows:
• When the absolute level increases above 0.12 pu for I_0 or I_2, the adaptive level detector output is active and the
next highest threshold level is increased eight cycles later from 0.12 to 0.24 pu in steps of 0.02 pu. If the level exceeds
0.24 pu, the current adaptive level detector setting remains at 0.24 pu and the output remains active (as well as the
disturbance detector output) when the measured value remains above the current setting.
• When the absolute level is decreasing from 0.24 to 0.12 pu, the lower level is set every eight cycles without the
adaptive level detector active. Note that the 50DD output remains inactive during this change as long as the delta
change is less than 0.04 pu.
The current delta level detectors (DI) detectors are designed to pick up for the 0.04 pu change in I_1, I_2, and I_0 currents.
The DI value is measured by comparing the present value to the value calculated four cycles earlier.
The voltage delta level detectors (DV) are designed to pickup for the 0.1 pu change in any of three-phase voltages and the
old voltage is greater than 0.8 pu. The DV value is measured by comparing the present value to the value calculated four
cycles earlier.
The settings are explained as follows.
— This setting is used to enable/disable the operation of the disturbance detector.
