4000 Notes:

3000 1. The Zero Sequence scheme requires that sensor be wired to breaker terminals
B-4 and B-5 and also requires a jumper on terminals B-6 to B-7 to enable the Zero
Sequence functionality. Also required is the programming of Digitrip 1150Vi setting
“EXT GND CT RATIO” be set to 50/1.
2000
2. For phase current time/current curves, see curves 5721B01 through 5721B06 and
5721B08 through 5721B11.

3. The curve is shown using 50/1 Sensor and is shown in Amperes.

900 4. The Earth Fault settings have conventional 100% ± 10% as their pick up points.
800
700
5. With zone interlocking on ground fault utilized and no restraining signal, the
600 minimum time band (FLAT) applies regardless of setting.
500
6. The dotted line shows the worst case response of the minimum setting, 0.1x, when
400 Trip unit’s external power is not available.

300 7. Earth Slope: FLAT

Tolerance is +0 / -80 ms except
0.10s setting band is 0.06 to 0.13
200 0.15s setting band is 0.08 to 0.17
0.20s setting band is 0.15 to 0.22

I T slope flattens out at 0.625x In (50 x .625 =31.2A) for top of band with FLAT
100
90 time minimum value prevailing for bottom of band.

80 Curve Trip Equation: Trip = (Earth TIME) x 0.39 / In (top)
1 MINUTE

70 2
60 Curve Trip Equation: Trip = ((Earth TIME) x 0.39 / In ) * 0.70 (bottom)
