Inrush Detector (81HBL2)

The inrush detector (81HBL2) element detects the presence of high levels of 2
cates a transformer inrush current during switch-on. The inrush current raises above the operate level of the
overcurrent elements for a short duration. It is important that the relay does not issue an incorrect trip
command for this transient network condition.
If a magnetic inrush condition is detected, then operation of the overcurrent elements can be blocked.
The calculation of the magnetizing inrush current level is complex, however a ratio of 20 % of the 2
harmonic to the fundamental current meets most applications without compromising the integrity of the
overcurrent protection.
When the inrush detector (81HBL2) is active, if the fundamental current crosses the 81HBL2 Release
Block setting, then the relay issues the trip command and provides the fault and event records based on the
protection function I
