Figure 76: 2nd Harmonic Blocking Logic (POC Input)
The function w
orks by identifying and measuring the inrush currents present in the phase currents at switch on. It
does this by comparing the value of the second harmonic current components to the value of the fundamental
component. If this ratio exceeds the set thresholds, then the blocking signal is generated. The threshold is defined
by the 2ndHarm Thresh setting.
We only want the function to block the protection if the fundamental current component is within the normal
range. If this exceeds the normal range, then this is indicative of a fault, which must be protected. For this reason
there is another settable trigger I>lift 2H, which when exceeded, stops the 2nd harmonic blocking function.
