CONTROL ELEMENTS
Do not use the broken conductor function to respond to fault transients and single-pole tripping/reclosing conditions.
Therefore, program the time delay to a sufficient length to ensure coordination with the breaker dead time of the recloser
function.

current. When one phase conductor is broken, the I_2 / I_1 ratio with a balanced remaining two phases is 50%. So
normally you this setting below 50% (for example, to 30%).
BROKEN CONDUCTOR 1 I1 MIN
setting is programmed to a sufficient level to prevent I_2 / I_1 from erratic pickup due to a low I_1 signal. However, do not
set this setting too high, since the broken conductor condition cannot be detected under light load conditions when I_1 is
less than the value specified by this setting.
BROKEN CONDUCTOR 1 I1 MAX
operate. When I_1 exceeds this setting, this it is considered a fault. In order for this function to not respond to any fault
conditions, set this setting to less than the maximum load current.
