Phase Instantaneous Overcurrent Protection (50P) - GE Multilin 850 Instruction Manual

PROTECTION
Phase Instantaneous
Overcurrent
Protection (50P)
4–124
The 850 IOC element consists of the equivalent of three separate instantaneous
overcurrent relays (one per phase) - ANSI device 50P - all with identical characteristics. The
settings of this function are applied to each of the three phases to produce Pickup and Trip
flags per phase. There is no intentional "dead band" when the current is above the Pickup
level. However the Pickup accuracy is guaranteed within the current input accuracy of 3%
above the set PKP value. The IOC Pickup flag is asserted, when the current of any phase is
above the PKP value. The IOC Operate flag is asserted if the element stays picked up for the
time defined in PH IOC PKP DELAY. The element drops from Pickup without operating if the
measured current drops below 97-98% of the Pickup value before the time for operation is
reached.
