The increase of the pickup value on startup serves as an additional safety against
overfunctioning when a non-energised protection object is connected. At address
1205 INC.CHAR.START it can be switched to ON or OFF. Especially for motors or mo-
tor/transformer units in block connection it should be set to ON.
The restraint current value I-REST. STARTUP (address 1251) is the value of the re-
straining current which is likely to be undershot before startup of the protected object
takes place. This parameter can only be set with DIGSI at Additional Settings.
Please be aware of the fact that the restraint current is twice the traversing operational
current. The pre-set value of 0.1 represents 0.05 times the rated current of the protect-
ed object.
Address 1252 START-FACTOR determines by which factor the pickup value of the
stage is to be increased on startup. The characteristic of this stage increases by the
same factor. The I

connection, a value of 2 is normally adequate. This parameter can only be set with
DIGSI under Additional Settings.
The increase of the pickup value is set back to its original value after time period T
START MAX (address 1253) has passed.
In systems with very high traversing currents a dynamic add-on restraint is enabled for
external faults. The initial value is set at address 1261 I-ADD ON STAB.. The value
is referred to the rated current of the protected object. The slope is the same as for
characteristic branch b (SLOPE 1, address 1241). This parameter can only be set with
DIGSI at Additional Settings. Please note that the fact that the restraint current is the
arithmetical sum of the currents flowing into the protected object, i.e. it is twice the tra-
versing current. The additional stabilisation does not influence the stage I-DIFF>>.
The maximum duration of the add-on restraint after detection of an external fault is set
to multiples of an AC-cycle (address 1262 T ADD ON-STAB.). This parameter can
only be set with DIGSI at Additional Settings. The add-on restraint is disabled auto-
matically even before the set time period expires as soon as the device has detected
that the operation pointI
zone near the fault characteristic (≥ 80 % of the fault characteristic slope).
Add-on restraint operates individually per phase, but blocking can be extended to all
three phases (so-called crossblock function). By means of address 1263 CROSSB.
ADD ON it can be determined how long the crossblock should be effective. This pa-
rameter can only be set with DIGSI at Additional Settings. Here, too, setting is in mul-
tiple of one AC-cycle. If 0 Per. cycle is set, crossblock is ineffective, i.e. only the phase
with detected external fault will be blocked. Otherwise all phases will be blocked. in
this case the same setting as for 1262 T ADD ON-STAB. is advisable. When set to
∞, the crossblock function is always effective.
Restraint with harmonic content is available only when the device is used as trans-
former protection, i.e. the PROT. OBJECT (address 105) is a 3 phase transf. or
1 phase transf. or Autotransf. or Autotr. node. This function is also used
for shunt reactors if current transformers are installed at both sides of the connection
points.
The inrush restraint function with 2nd harmonic can be switched in address 1206
INRUSH 2.HARM. OFF and ON. It is based on evaluation of the 2nd harmonic present
in the switch-on inrush current. The ratio of 2nd harmonics to the fundamental (ad-
dress 1271, 2. HARMONIC) is set to I
without being changed. To provide more restraint in exceptional cases, where ener-
gising conditions are particularly unfavourable, a smaller value can be set at the afore-
stage is not affected. For motors or motor/transformer in unit
