Discussion
There are three graphs obtained by using observation values of earth fault protection
module for different plug setting values and current fault values. Here the fault time is graphed
according to the TMS value.
Comparing graph 1 and graph 2, its plug setting is kept constant (PS = 1), and the current
fault is changed. Current fault of graph 1 equal to 1.38A and current fault of graph 2 equal to
1.83A. Accordingly, when the current fault is increased, the sequence of the graph is decreases.
Comparing graph 2 and graph 3, its current fault is kept constant (I fault = 1.83), and the
Plug setting is changed. Plug setting of graph 1 equal to 1 and Plug setting of graph 2 equal to
1.5. By considering these two graphs, when the Plug setting increases, the sequence of the graph
is increases.
