To prevent maloperation for power swings the element is typically time delayed by 20 to 30 seconds. For sequential tripping
applications the time delay will be 2 to 3 seconds. The element may be blocked when the generator is offline. The line
source will be used for this application. Make the following changes in EnerVista UR Setup or through the SETTINGS 

Sequential tripping logic can be implemented in FlexLogic as follows:

9.1.9 SYSTEM BACKUP OVERCURRENT
System backup protection is implemented using a phase time overcurrent element with voltage restraint enabled. The
NEUTRL source will be chosen for this element. The pickup of this element should be set at a safe margin above the max-
imum load expected on the machine.
(EQ 9.17)
The selection of all standard curves (and FlexCurvesâ„¢) is allowed for easy coordination with system relaying. For the
example system, an IEEE extremely inverse curve will be used and a setting will be chosen such that the operate time for a
three phase fault on the high side of the transformer is 0.75 seconds. For simplicity, the power system contribution is not
considered.
