    188 (211 ONSTRUCTION AND INSTALLATION The Arcteq AQ-G357 generator protection IED consists of hardware modules. Due to modular structure optional positions for the slots can be user defined in the ordering of the IED to include I/O modules and other types of additional modules. An example module arrangement configuration of the AQ-G357 is shown in the figure below.
  • Page 189 Instruction manual –AQ G3x7 Generator protection IED 189 (211 After power-up the RDSP processor starts -up with the previously saved configuration and parameters. Generally, the power-up procedure for the RDSP and relay functions takes approx. 1 sec. That is to say, it is ready to trip within this time. CDSP’s start-up procedure is longer, because its operating system needs time to build its file system, initializing user applications such as HMI functions and the IEC61850 software stack.
