The split phase element allows a separate pickup setting to be applied for each phase. Additionally, the pickup can be
biased by the load current (slope characteristic). Two modes of operation are supported (over and over-under).
The split phase element principle of operation is as follows. First, define the following parameters:
I : split-phase current, I
split
Then, the expected value of the steady state unbalance (defined as bias current) is expressed as follows:
where:
slope
and offset is the split phase current at no-load. In "Over" mode, the element will pickup if:
In "Over-under", mode, the element will pickup if:
