Instantaneous Derived Earth Fault Protection (50N); Figure 3.3.1-1 Logic Diagram: Derived Directional Earth Fault Element - Siemens Argus 7SR21 Technical Manual

7SR210 & 7SR220 Description of Operation
Minimum Polarising Voltage
The 67N Minimum Voltage setting defines the minimum polarising voltage level. Where the measured polarising
voltage is below this level no directional output is given and operation of protection elements set as directional will
be inhibited. This prevents mal-operation under fuse failure/MCB tripped conditions where noise voltages can be
present.

Instantaneous Derived Earth Fault Protection (50N)

Two instantaneous derived earth fault elements are provided in the 7SR21 relay. Four elements are provided in
the 7SR22 relay e.g. giving the option of using two elements set to forward and two to reverse.
Each instantaneous element has independent settings for pick-up current 50N-n Setting and a follower time
delay 50N-n Delay. The instantaneous elements have transient free operation.
Where directional elements are present the direction of operation can be set using 50N-n Dir. Control setting.
Directional logic is provided independently for each 50-n element.
Operation of the instantaneous earth fault elements can be inhibited from: -
Inhibit 50N-n
79 E/F Inst Trips: 50N-n
50N-n VTSAction: Inhibit
50N-n Inrush Action: Inhibit
