Care: Certain manufacturer’s use a mid-range value of time dial = 5 or 7. So; it may be
necessary to divide by 5 or 7 to achieve parity.

Sets the second phase overcurrent threshold (I>2) characteristics. The conditions are
‘disabled’, definite time (DT) or inverse definite minimum time (IDMT, see chapter
P44x/EN AP).
Settings are the same as for the first stage overcurrent element.

The third element is fixed as non-directional, for instantaneous or definite time delayed
tripping.

I>4 Status Disabled Disabled or Enabled
The fourth element is only used for stub bus protection, where it is fixed as non-directional,
and only enabled when the opto input Stub Bus Isolator Open (Stub Bus Enable) is
energised. If the “stub bus enable” input is equal to 0, the I>4 function is still active, if the
“stub bus enable” input is equal to 1, only the I>4 function is active (not I>1, I>2 and I>3).
I>4 Current Set 4 x In 0.08 x In 32 x In 0.01 x In
I>4 should be used as a normal overcurrent stage if no stub bus condition is activated
through the binary input Stub Bus Enabled.
2.5 Negative sequence overcurrent protection (“NEG sequence O/C” menu)
When applying traditional phase overcurrent protection, the overcurrent elements must be
set higher than maximum load current, thereby limiting the element’s sensitivity. Most
protection schemes also use an earth fault element operating from residual current, which
