Ground Fault Trip Level
Ground Fault Trip Level (Parameter 244) allows you to define the ground fault
current in which the E300 relay trips and is adjustable from:
• 0.500…5.00 A (Int
ernal)
• 0.020…5.00 A (Exte
rnal)
Table 245 - Ground Fault Trip Level (Parameter 244)
Ground Fault Warning
The E300 relay indicates a ground fault warning if:
• No warning currently exists
• Ground Fault Warning is enabled
• Current is present
• Ground Fault Inhibit Time has expired
• Ground Fault Current is equal to or greater than the Ground Fault
W
arn
ing Level for a time period greater than the Ground Fault Warning
Delay.

The ground fault inhibit timer starts after the maximum phase load current
transitions from 0 A to 30% of the minimum FLA rating of the device or the
ground fault current is greater than or equal to 50% of the minimum ground
fault current rating of the device. The E300 relay does not begin monitoring for
a ground fault condition until the Ground Fault Current Inhibit Time expires.
