3.4.2 Time Delayed Derived Earth Fault Protection (51N)
Two time delayed derived earth fault elements are provided in the 7SR105 Rho Motor Protection Relay.
51N-n Setting sets the pick-up current level.
A number of shaped characteristics are provided. An inverse definite minimum time (IDMT) characteristic is
selected from IEC and ANSI curves using 51N-n Char. A time multiplier is applied to the characteristic curves
using the 51N-n Time Mult setting. Alternatively, a definite time lag delay (DTL) can be chosen using 51N-n
Char. When definite time lag (DTL) is selected, the time multiplier is not applied and the 51N-n Delay (DTL)
setting is used instead.
The 51N-n Reset setting can apply a definite time delayed reset, or when configured as an IEC or ANSI if the
reset is selected as IEC/ANSI (DECAYING) reset the associated reset curve will be used. The reset mode is
significant where the characteristic has reset before issuing a trip output.
A minimum operate time for the characteristic can be set using the 51N-n Min. Operate Time setting.
A fixed additional operate time can be added to the characteristic using the 51N-n Follower DTL setting.
Operation of the time delayed earth fault elements can be inhibited from:

Current Protection: Measured Earth Fault (50G, 51G)
The earth current is measured directly via a dedicated current analogue input, IL4.
All measured earth fault elements have a common setting to measure either the fundamental frequency RMS or

3.5.1 Instantaneous Measured Earth Fault Protection (50G)
Two instantaneous measured earth fault elements are provided in the 7SR105 Rho Motor Protection Relay.
Each instantaneous element has independent settings for pick-up current 50G-n Setting and a follower time
delay 50G-n Delay. The instantaneous elements have transient free operation.
Operation of the instantaneous measured earth fault elements can be inhibited from:
