Measurements and Derived Values

4.1.1
The device measures and calculates the values which are displayed on the HMI/Modbus. The following table
shows the measured values and derived values of the device when it is connected to the medium-voltage
system and low-voltage system.

Fault Detection

4.1.2
The device determines the fault based on the following criteria:
•
Overcurrent detection for phase currents (I>, I>>) and ground current (I
•
Ground-current and neutral-point displacement voltage (I
system
where V is an internally calculated value.

You can configure the individual time-delay setting for phase current and ground currents.

For fault detection, the highest values of one of the timers are considered.
The device uses the Definite Minimum Time (DMT) or Inverse Definite Minimum Time (IDMT) characteristics
for detecting the fault. It identifies the type of the fault and also determines the direction.
The following logic diagram shows the fault indication.
