Ekip Dip protection release | 2 - Protections
Protection S
The protection S protects against the selective short circuit.
NOTE: the protection is available for LSI and LSIG versions of the release.
When the activation threshold is exceeded, the protection trips within a fixed or dynamic time (the time
decreases as the current read increases).
Parameters
All the parameters that can be modified by the user affect the response curve, and related tripping times.
Parameter Description
Enable By setting the threshold dip-switches to the Off position, the protection is disabled.
Type of curve
Determines the dynamic of the curve and the tripping time, fixed or dynamic accord

NOTE: calculation of the tripping time of the inverse time curve is based on a
mathematical expression. The details provided in the table on page 43.
Threshold I2
It defines the current value that if exceeded activates the protection (in reference to
the curve, it is the part parallel to the ordinate).
IMPORTANT:
•The I2 threshold set must be higher than the I1 threshold. An incor
-
rect configuration returns an alarm signal.
•The delay is interrupted if the current drops below the activation
threshold.
Time t2
The selected function determines the contribution of t2:

•Dynamictime:t2contributesincalculatingthetrippingtime(inreferencetothe
curve, t2 affects the entire curve, shifting it as a whole along the vertical axis).
IMPORTANT:
• The minimum tripping time of the protection is t2. If, according to
the calculation, the tripping time is less, it is automatically limited to t2.
• For all the UL versions, the maximum time allowed by the release is
0.4 s. If a higher value is set, the release signals the error and forces the
parameter to 0.4 s.
With the modules Ekip T&P or Ekip Bluetooth and with the Ekip Connect software, it is possible to activate
the function Thermal Memory. See page 42.
