4.6.7 GROUND OVERCURRENT
The 489 ground overcurrent feature consists of both an alarm and a trip element. The magnitude of measured ground cur-
rent is used to time out against the definite time alarm or inverse time curve trip. The 489 inverse time curve for this element
may be either ANSI, IEC, or GE Type IAC standard curve shapes. This allows for simplified coordination with downstream
devices. If however, none of these curves shapes is adequate, the FlexCurve™ may be used to customize the inverse time
curve characteristics. If the Ground CT is selected as "None", the ground overcurrent protection is disabled.
The pickup level for the ground current elements is programmable as a multiple of the CT. The 50:0.025 CT
is intended for very sensitive detection of ground faults and its nominal CT rating for the 489 is 50:0.025.
For example, if the ground CT is 50:0.025, a pickup of 0.20 would be 0.20 × 5 = 1 A primary. If the ground CT is 50:0.025, a
pickup of 0.05 would be 0.05 × 5 = 0.25 A primary.
