Check from the table of selected resistances the required series stabilizing resistor
value to use. Since this application requires high sensitivity, select SeriesResistor=
1000 ohm which gives a current of 40 mA.
To calculate the sensitivity at operating voltage, refer to equation
31 which is
acceptable as it gives around 10% minimum operating current.

The magnetizing current is taken from the magnetizing curve for the current
transformer cores which should be available. The current value at U>Trip is taken.
For the voltage dependent resistor current the peak value of voltage 40 ˣ √2 is used.
Then the RMS current is calculated by dividing obtained current value from the
metrosil curve with√2. Use the maximum value from the metrosil curve given in
Figure

7.2.4.6 Alarm level operation
The 1Ph High impedance differential protection HZPDIF function has a separate
alarm level, which can be used to give alarm for problems with an involved current
transformer circuit. The setting level is normally selected to be around 10% of the
operating voltage U>Trip.
