Functionality
The three-phase long-time overcurrent protection 51LT is used as one-phase, two-phase
or three-phase non-directional overcurrent and short-circuit protection for feeders.
The operation of this function is very similar to the 51P function except that inverse curves
operating times are 10 times that of 51P.
The function also contains a blocking functionality. It is possible to block function
outputs, timers or the function itself, if desired.
Operation principle
The function can be enabled and disabled with the Operation setting. The corresponding
parameter values are "Enable" and "Disable".
The operation of three-phase long-time overcurrent protection can be described by using
a module diagram. All the modules in the diagram are explained in the next sections.
