1218. It is usually used for purposes of current grading intended for large impedances that are prevalent in
transformers or generators. It is specified in such manner that it picks up faults up to this impedance.
Example of the high-set current element 50-2 PICKUP: Transformer used for busbar supply with the
following data:
Rated apparent power
Transformer impedance
Primary nominal voltage
Secondary nominal voltage
Vector groups
Neutral point
Fault power on 110 kV-side
Based on the data above, the following fault currents are calculated:
Three-Phase High Voltage Side Fault Current
Three-Phase Low Voltage Side Fault Current

The nominal current of the transformer is:

Due to the following definition
[hochstrom-260602-kn, 1, en_US]
the following setting applies to the protection device: The 50-2 high-set current element must be set higher
than the maximum fault current which is detected during a low side fault on the high side. To reduce fault
probability as much as possible even when fault power varies, the following setting is selected in primary
values: 50-2 /Ι

50-3.
Increased inrush currents, if their fundamental component exceeds the setting value, are rendered harmless
by delay times (address 1203 50-2 DELAY or 1218 50-3 DELAY).
The principle of the "reverse interlocking" utilizes the multi-element function of the time overcurrent protec-
tion: Element 50-2 PICKUP is applied as a fast busbar protection with a shorter safety delay time 50-2
DELAY (e.g. 100 ms). For faults at the outgoing feeders, element 50-2 is blocked. The elements 50-1 or 51
serve as backup protection. The pickup values of both elements (50-1 PICKUP or 51 PICKUP and 50-2 PICKUP)
are set equal. The delay time 50-1 DELAY or 51 TIME DIAL is set in such manner that it overgrades the
delay for the outgoing feeders.
The selected time is an additional delay time and does not include the operating time (measuring time,
dropout time). The delay can also be set to ∞. In this case, the element will not trip after pickup. However,
pickup, will be signaled. If the 50-2 element or the 50-3 element is not required at all, the pickup threshold
50-2 or 50-3 is set to ∞. This setting prevents tripping and the generation of a pickup message.
High-set Current Elements 50N-2, 50N-3 (ground)
The pickup current of the high-set element 50N-2 PICKUP or 50N-3 PICKUP can be set at address 1302 or
1317. The corresponding delay time 50N-2 DELAY or 50N-3 DELAY can be configured under address 1303
or 1318. The same considerations apply to these settings as they did for phase currents discussed earlier.
The selected time is an additional delay time and does not include the operating time (measuring time,
dropout time). The delay can also be set to ∞. In this case, the element will not trip after pickup. However,
