 Current-Based Protection
• Instantaneous overcurrent (50P, 50Q, 50G, 50N)
♦ 4 independent set points for each type
♦ Provides 50P1 phase identification

• Time overcurrent (51P, 51G, 51N, 51Q)

♦ 2 independent set points (51P, 51G, 51N)
♦ 1 per-phase set point (51A, 52B, 51C)
♦ 1 set point for 51Q

• Underfrequency / overfrequency (81):

6 independent set points either underfrequency
or overfrequency
