7XT33 – 20 Hz Generator 1.3 Function Description Function Description Basic Principle The device 7XT33 injects into the generator neutral point a voltage of max. 1 % of the rated generator voltage. If a ground fault occurs in the generator neutral point, the 20 Hz voltage drives a current through the fault resistance.

7XT33 – 20 Hz Generator 1.3 Function Description NOTE The output of the device 7XT33 is not resistant to short circuits. In the case of a short circuit, the internal fusible cut-out insert interrupts the electrical circuit. • If the 20-Hz output voltage is lower than 17 V, for example during a short circuit, or higher than 73 V under operating conditions (internal device voltage within the permissible range), the output module is switched off, the signal relay drops out and the red BLOCKED LED lights up.
7XT33 – 20 Hz Generator 1.5 Control Voltage for Blocking Input Control Voltage for Blocking Input The blocking input is set to the pickup threshold of DC 88 V on delivery. For the control voltages DC 24 V, DC 48 V and DC 60 V, jumper S1 on the control module (C53207-A332- B2-, see Figure 1-8) must be used to reduce the pickup threshold to DC 19 V (X401-X402).
