2.3.3 Guideline for setting the protection parameters
The protection parameters of the electronic trip unit depend on the technical environment
(e.g. power distribution equipment and applications) and the type of equipment to be
protected. Therefore, the protection settings must be calculated according to the applicable
regulations and the electronic trip unit must be set with these calculated parameters.
