and without the short-time function.

On Trip Units with the user-selectable switchable instan-
taneous overcurrent and ground-fault option, X, an addi-
tional value of

OFF

appears at the end of the listing of

numerical values. Choose this setting to disable instanta-
neous protection. The instantaneous

OFF

selection is

interlocked with short-time pickup, so that only one
function can be turned off at a time.

Ground-Fault Pickup

The trip unit display for ground-fault pickup is shown in
Figure 18. This function sets the pickup current for
ground-fault protection. The available settings are listed in
Table 13 as multiples of xCT the current sensor rating, in
steps of 0.01 xCT. The maximum value is limited to 1200
A. Figure 19 illustrates the time-current curve for ground-
fault pickup.

Ground-Fault Delay

This function sets the delay before the breaker trips when
the ground-fault pickup current has been detected. The
Trip Unit display is shown in Figure 20. The choices are
listed in Table 14. The delay for

I

2

T OUT

is at the lower

limit of each band. The delay for

I

2

T IN

is at 200% of the

pickup setting at the lower limit of the band.

The

I

2

T OUT

function establishes a constant time delay, as

shown in Figure 21.

I

T IN

biases the delay with a constant

slope, as shown in Figure 22.

With the X or GD options (switchable or defeatable
ground fault), an

OFF

selection appears as an additional

time-delay set point. Selecting

OFF

disables ground-fault

protection.
