IDMT characteristics are defined as Inverse because the trip time is inversely proportional to the fault current being measured. In SICAM FCM, the IDMT function supports the Normal Inverse (NI) characteristics. The ANSI codes supported by the IDMT function are non-directional (51) and directional (67) for overcurrent indication.
The device sends the fault current, fault type, and additional fault information to the RTU. If a fault is detected, the red LED flashes every 1 s if the device is not powered through an auxiliary supply. SICAM, Feeder Condition Monitor, Manual E50417-H8940-C580-A4, Edition 03.2019...
SICAM FCM to improve system accuracy. • Sensors which are used in combination with SICAM FCM and do not have correction factors, disable the respective correction factors. In this way, the device works with secondary values as measured without any influence on magnitudes and phase angles.
4.1.12 The P,Q sign parameter is used to reverse the sign of active power (P) and reactive power (Q) for all phases. The P,Q sign parameter cannot be configured for individual phases. SICAM, Feeder Condition Monitor, Manual E50417-H8940-C580-A4, Edition 03.2019...
The phase sequence of the measured phase-to-ground voltages is checked by monitoring the angle difference between phase-to-ground and phase-to-phase voltages. SICAM FCM monitors the phase sequence of voltage signals from voltage sensors and displays it on the HMI/ Modbus. The phase-sequence monitoring algorithm uses measured phase-to-ground voltage and phase-to- phase voltage angles in balanced condition.
If there are any device alerts and a fault is detected in the system, then the phase sequence is displayed as --- on the HMI and the Modbus register is set to 0. NOTE Protection functions implemented in SICAM FCM are designed for clockwise phase sequence only. Determination of Fault Direction 4.1.15 The fault direction for the phase faults is determined by calculating the phase angles between the fault current and the corresponding phase-to-phase voltages.
The undetermined area for the device MLFB 6MD2321-1AA00-1AA0 is 10° and the respective angles change accordingly. The undetermined area for the device MLFB 6MD2322-1AA00-1AA0 is 20° and the respective angles change accordingly. SICAM, Feeder Condition Monitor, Manual E50417-H8940-C580-A4, Edition 03.2019...

The device detects and records the repeated phase faults. A repeated phase fault is defined as the phase fault that occurs due to an automatic reclosing (AREC) as long as the SICAM FCM indicates the fault, that is, it has not been reset via one of the possible reset mechanisms yet.
The inrush current is detected by analyzing the magnitude of the 2nd harmonic components of the phase vectors. [lo_sfcm-inrushcrnt-dct, 2, en_US] Figure 4-18 Inrush-Current Detection Logic Diagram SICAM, Feeder Condition Monitor, Manual E50417-H8940-C580-A4, Edition 03.2019...
