Setting guidelines

The setting calculations are individual for each application. Refer to the different application
descriptions below.

Settings of protection function

Operation : The operation of the high impedance differential function can be switched Enabled or
Disabled .
AlarmPickup : Set the alarm level. The sensitivity can roughly be calculated as a certain percentage
of the selected Trip level. A typical setting is 10% of
scheme CT supervision.
tAlarm : Set the time delay for the alarm. A typical setting is 2-3 seconds.
TripPickup : Set the trip level according to the calculations (see examples below for a guidance).
The level is selected with margin to the calculated required voltage to achieve stability. Values can
be within 20V - 400V range dependent on the application.
R series : Set the value of the used stabilizing series resistor. Calculate the value according to the
examples for each application. Adjust the resistor as close as possible to the calculated value.
Measure the value achieved and set this value for this parameter.

One-phase plate with stabilizing resistor and metrosil. Protective ground is a separate 4 mm screw
terminal on the plate.
Necessary connection for the metrosil.
Position of optional test switch for secondary injection into the high impedance differential IED.
Necessary connection for stabilizing resistor.
How to connect the high impedance restricted earth fault protection scheme to one CT input in IED.
The value shall always be high impedance. This means for example, for 1A circuits
say bigger than 400 ohms (400 VA) and for 5 A circuits say bigger than 100 ohms
(2500 VA). This ensures that the current will circulate and not go through the
differential circuit at through faults.
That the settings of U>Alarm, U>Trip and SeriesResistor must be chosen such that
both U>Alarm/SeriesResistor and U>Trip/SeriesResistor are >4% of IRated of the
used current input. Normally the settings shall also be such that U>Alarm/
SeriesResistor and U>Trip/SeriesResistor both gives a value <4*IRated of the used
current input. If not, the limitation in how long time the actual current is allowed to
persist not to overload the current input must be considered especially during the
secondary testing.
