7.2.1.2 Setting Multi-Source Ground-Fault pickup/delay
To configure pickup and delay settings
1. On the Main Menu, click User Settings.
2. Click Advanced Protection, and then click Multi Source GF.
3. Select the zone number and topology number, and then select the appropriate settings for
pickup settings, time delay and Curve I
2
T, etc.
The pickup setting cannot be less than the minimum pickup for that MSGF zone. An MSGF zone's
minimum pickup is computed as 20% of the frame size of the largest circuit breaker of that
zone. So, although the allowed pickup setting range for the MSGF Relay is 30 to 1200 Amps, the
actual allowed range is only from “zone-minimum-pickup” to 1200 Amps.
There are seven delay bands available:
For 60 Hz systems
Band 1: 0.025 sec < T < 0.092 sec (Note: The actual fault clearing time depends on the energy
content of the current at the circuit breaker.)
Band 2: 0.058 sec < T < 0.158 sec
Band 3: 0.100 sec < T < 0.200 sec
Band 4: 0.167 sec < T < 0.267 sec
Band 5: 0.217 sec < T < 0.317 sec
Band 6: 0.283 sec < T < 0.383 sec
Band 7: 0.400 sec < T < 0.500 sec
For 50 Hz systems
Band 1: 0.030 sec < T < 0.095 sec (Note: The actual fault clearing time depends on the energy
content of the current at the circuit breaker.)
Band 2: 0.060 sec < T < 0.160 sec
Band 3: 0.100 sec < T < 0.200 sec
Band 4: 0.170 sec < T < 0.270 sec
Band 5: 0.220 sec < T < 0.320 sec
Band 6: 0.280 sec < T < 0.380 sec
Band 7: 0.400 sec < T < 0.500 sec
The pickup default is 1200 Amps and the time delay default is BAND 3 and the Curve I2T default
is “disabled.”
If Topology Settings is set to Topology 1 and Apply to all Topologies is selected, then the
settings of topology 1 are applied to all topologies from 1 to 2
(num of buses)
– 1. To apply different
settings to different topologies, click Advanced Settings and select the desired topology and
settings as shown in Figure 7-6. For topology 0, settings are selected separately and these
settings are used when the Reduced Let-Thru Mode is enabled.
