 ESDR 4T - OVERVIEW OF FUNCTIONS
ESDR 4T is a three-phase current differential pro-
tection unit for generators, motors and transformers
in unit connection (protection object). The currents
flowing in the individual conductors are measured by
means of current transformers installed at both sides
of the protection object. These current transformers
form the limits of the protection area. Any two-phase
or three-phase short circuits and earth leakages are
recognized by the ESDR 4T as fault currents. By
means of freely parameterizable relays, the unit
indicates any overruns of the adjusted fault current
limits. In the event that fault currents occur outside
of the protection area, the unit does not cause an
opening operation. Hence the unit can be used in
protection systems requiring selective tripping op-
erations.
To adapt the network configuration to the ESDR 4T
it is possible to change the phase shift of the trans-
former via selecting the vector group in the display.
The different nominal currents of the high- and low
voltage side of the transformer, the transformer ratio
as well as the transformer ratio can be set in the
display, too. Every measuring point can be set sepa-
rately. Through this the ESDR 4T becomes a more
universal use.
Input / Output
» 6 measuring inputs
→ Primary value for each transformer set ad-
justable separately
→ Secondary values selectable as ../1 A or as
../5 A measuring inputs
» Relay outputs (potential-free)
→ Differential protection:
3 × change-over contact, 1 × closer
» Digital inputs
→ Differential protection
4 x metallically separated
Network configuration adjustable in the display
» Transformer ratio of the transformer
» Vector group of the transformer
» Transformer ratio of the measuring transformer
(primary value for every transformer set sepa-
rately)
