Multiple Settings Groups

Alternate settings groups can be used to reconfigure the relay during significant changes to system conditions
e.g.
Primary plant switching in/out
Summer/winter or day/night settings
Switchable earthing connections
Loss of Grid connection (see below)
Industrial system draws power from grid
system during normal operation
Relays normally use settings group 1
On loss of mains:
Local generation switched in.
Non essential loads tripped
Relays on essential circuits switched to
settings group 2 to reflect new load and
fault currents
