Phase Rotation, Nominal Frequency Settings
Table 8 - Phase Rotation, Nominal Frequency Settings
The phase rotation setting tells the relay your phase labeling standard. Set Phase
Rotation equal to ABC when B-phase current lags A-phase current by 120°.
Set Phase Rotation equal to ACB when B-phase current leads A-phase current
by 120°.
The thermal overload algorithm is dependent on the proper phase rotation
setting. An improper phase rotation will cause nuisance tripping.

Set the Rated Freq. equal to your system nominal frequency.
Date Format
The Date Format setting allows you to change the relay date presentation format
to either North American standard (Month/Day/Year), engineering standard
(Year/Month/Day), or European standard (Day/Month/Year).
