Note: This diagram shows the logic for IN2 (derived earth fault ). The logic
for IN1 (measured earth fault ) follows the same principles, but with no CTS
blocking.
This diagram does not show all stages . Other stages follow similar
principles.
AR blocking is only available for stages 3 and 4 .
IN2
Note:
*1 If a CLP condition exists, the I>(n) Curr
ent Set threshold is taken from the COLD LOAD PICKUP column
*2 Autoreclose blocking is only available for stages 3,4 and 6 and on selected models
*3 The CTS blocking is not applicable for IN1, however this can be achieved using the PSL
Figure 48: Non-directional EF logic (single stage)
The Earth F
ault current is compared with a set threshold (IN1>(n) Current) for each stage. If it exceeds this
threshold, a Start signal is triggered, providing it is not blocked. This can be blocked by the second harmonic
blocking function, or an Inhibit Earth Fault DDB signal.
The autoreclose logic can be set to block the Earth Fault trip after a prescribed number of shots (set in
AUTORECLOSE column). This is achieved using the AR Blk Main Prot setting. this can also be blocked by the
relevant timer block signal IN1>(n)TimerBlk DDB signal.
Earth Fault protection can follow the same IDMT characteristics as described in the Overcurrent Protection
Principles section. Please refer to that section for details of IDMT characteristics.
The diagram and description also applies to the Earth Fault 2 element (IN2).
10.3 IDG CURVE
The IDG curve is commonly used for time delayed earth fault protection in the Swedish market. This curve is
available in stage 1 of the Ear
th Fault protection.
The IDG curve is represented by the following equation:
