eter 1ph FAULTS (address 1630A) according to Table 6-2. In the non-earthed net-
work, the phase–to–phase loop is always selected for single–phase pick-up without
earth-fault detection.
The phases that have picked-up are signalled. If an earth fault has been detected, it
is also indicated. Pick-up will drop off if the signal falls below 95 % of the pick-up value.
6.2.2.2 Voltage-Dependent Current Fault Detection U/I
Mode of Operation
and Characteristic
The U/I pick-up is a per phase and per loop pick-up mode. Here the phase currents
must exceed a threshold , while the threshold value depends on the magnitude of the
loop voltage.
Pick-up due to earth faults in systems with a non-earthed system star point is effec-
tively suppressed by means of the measures described in Section 6.2.1.
The basic characteristics of the U/I pick-up can be seen from the current–voltage char-
acteristic shown in Figure 6-19. The first requirement for every phase pick-up is that
of the minimum current
Iph> is exceeded. For the evaluation of phase–phase loops
both relevant phase currents have to exceed this value. Above this current the current
pick-up is voltage-dependent with the slope being determined by the settings
U(I>)
and U(I>>). For short-circuits with large currents the overcurrent pick-up Iph>> (Sec-
tion 6.2.2.1) is superimposed. The bold dots in Figure 6-19 designate the settings
which determine the geometry of the current/voltage characteristic.
Loop pick-up will drop off if the signal falls below 95 % of the relevant current value or
exceeds 105 % of the relevant voltage value.
