Functions
2.2 Overcurrent Protection 50, 51, 50N, 51N
Depending on the setting of parameter , the device can also be used in specific system configuration with
regard to current connections. Further information can be found under Section 2.1.3.2, „Current Connections".
Measurement Methods
The comparison values to be used for the respective element can be set in the setting sheets for the elements.
• Measurement of the fundamental harmonic (standard method):
This measurement method processes the sampled values of the current and filters in numerical order the
fundamental harmonic so that the higher harmonics or transient peak currents remain largely unconsidered.
• Measurement of the true RMS value
The current amplitude is derived from the sampled values in accordance with the definition equation of the
true RMS value. This measurement method should be selected when higher harmonics are to be considered
by the function (e.g. in capacitor banks).
• Measurement with instantaneous values
This procedure compares the instantaneous values to the set threshold. The element picks up at 2 · √2 ·
setting value (rms). It does not perform a mean-value calculation and is thus sensitive with regard to distur-
bances. This measurement method should only be selected if an especially short pickup time of the element
is required. In this measurement procedure, the operating time of the element is reduced compared to the
measurement of effective values or fundamental harmonics (see „Technical Data").
The type of reference values can be set at the following addresses:
50-3 Element
50-2 Element
50-1 Element
50N-3 Element
50N-2 Element
50N-1 Element
High-set Current Elements 50-2, 50-3 (phases)
The pickup currents of the high-current elements 50-2 PICKUP or 50-3 PICKUP can be set either at address
1202 or at address 1217. The corresponding time delay 50-2 DELAY or 50-3 DELAY can be configured at
address 1203 or at address 1218. It is usually used for the purpose of current grading intended for large im-
pedances that are prevalent in transformers. It is specified such that it picks up for faults up to this impedance.
Example of the high-set current element 50-2 PICKUP: Transformer used for busbar supply with the following
data:
