Neutral conductor protection – N-tripping
Trip units ETU745 - 776 also make it possible to protect the neutral conductor against overload. This requires a current transformer for the
neutral conductor, which can be retrofitted if necessary.

Load monitoring (load restore / load shedding)
Trip units ETU745 - ETU776 offer the possibility of additional load monitoring. Two current values, "load shedding" and "load restore", as
well as a delay time t , can be set.

If the setting value "load restore" is undershot, and the lower limit value for current transmission is exceeded at the same time, a signal is

Load monitoring can be adjusted via:
- the alphanumeric display (ETU745)
- the graphical display (ETU776)
- TD400 and the software "powerconfig"
- the COM modules with a PC with the software "powerconfig" installed
Leading signal for L-tripping
Trip units ETU745 - 776 provide a leading signal for "L-tripping", which is transmitted via the
tripping. In this way it is possible e.g. to disconnect thyristor controllers.
Phase loss sensing
When phase loss sensing is active and the load current on the least-loaded phase is at least 50% below that of the highest loaded phase,
