CHAPTER 4: SETPOINTS PROTECTION
869 MOTOR PROTECTION SYSTEM – INSTRUCTION MANUAL 4–189
Neutral Time
Overcurrent
Protection
The 869 computes the neutral current (In) using the following formula:
|In|=|Ia+Ib+Ic|
The settings of this function are applied to the neutral current to produce Trip or Pickup
flag
s. The Neutral TOC Pickup flag is asserted when the neutral current is above the PKP
value. The Neutral TOC Trip flag is asserted if the element stays picked up for the time
defined by the selected inverse curve and the magnitude of the current. The element
drops from Pickup without operation if the measured current drops below 97 to 98% of the
Pickup value before the time for operation is reached. When Definite Time is selected, the
time for Neutral TOC operation is defined only by the TDM setting.

FUNCTION
Range: Disabled, Trip, Alarm, Latched Alarm, Configurable
Default: Disabled
INPUT
Range: Phasor, RMS
Default: Phasor
This selection defines the method of processing of the current signal. It could be Root
Mean Square (RMS) or Fundamental Phasor Magnitude.
PICKUP
Range: 0.050 to 30.000 x CT in steps of 0.001 x CT
Default: 1.000 x CT
CURVE
Range: IEEE Extremely/Very/Moderately Inverse
ANSI Extremely/Very/Normally/Moderately Inverse
Definite time
IEC A/B/C and Short Inverse
IAC Extremely/Very/Inverse/Short Inverse
FlexCurve A/B/C/D, I2t, I4t
Default: IEEE Moderately Inverse
This setting sets the shape of the selected over-current inverse curve. If none of the
standard curve shapes is appropriate, a FlexCurve can be created. Refer to the User
curve and the FlexCurve setup for more details on their configurations and usage.
TDM
Range: 0.05 to 600.00 in steps of 0.01
Default: 1.00
This setting provides selection of the Time Dial Multiplier by which the times from the
inverse curve are modified. For example if an ANSI Extremely Inverse curve is selected
with TDM = 2, and the fault current is 5 times bigger than the PKP level, the operation of
the element will not occur until 2.59s of time has elapsed from pickup.
RESET
Range: Instantaneous, Timed
Default: Instantaneous
The selection of an Instantaneous or a Timed reset time is provided for this setting. If the
Instantaneous reset is selected, the neutral TOC element will reset instantaneously
providing the current drops below 97-98% of the Neutral TOC PKP level, before the time
for operation is reached.
DIRECTION
Range: Disabled, Forward, Reverse
Default: Disabled
