5. DESIGN AND OPERATION

5.1 Design
5.1.1 Outdoor Switching Module (OSM)
The Outdoor Switching Module contains three poles (see Figure 9). Each pole contains a vacuum interrupter and an insulated drive rod
incorporated into polycarbonate housing. The Switching module contains three magnetic actuators, one per pole. The three poles and
the single mechanism enclosure are installed in an IP65 protective tank. The tank and bottom cover are made of corrosion-proof
aluminum alloy. All aluminum surfaces are chemically pre-oxidized and powder coated. The OSM has a unique, fully insulated, internal
design to avoid the necessity of a completely sealed tank. The drainage filters are located at the base of the tank to prevent the built-up of
condensation.
The three magnetic actuators are mechanically interlocked to ensure correct three-phase operation. The mechanism is kept in the open
position by the force of the opening spring and in the closed position by the magnetic latch. Each actuator is driven by a single solenoid. A
trip operation is achieved by reversing current direction to generate a driving force in the opposite direction. Energy for the operations is
provided by capacitors located in the recloser control cubicle.
The OSM can be mechanically tripped by using a hook stick to pull the manual tripping hook to the open position.
Refer to “Appendix 3. Dimensions” for the OSM dimensional drawings.

5.1.2 Protective tank

The OSM tank (see Figure 10) is made of a corrosion resistant anodized aluminum alloy. The tank is coated with light gray RAL 7038
powder coating. The OSM has 4 drainage filters installed in the bottom, one per corner. It allows effective OSM dehumidification in case of
condensation build up.
Threaded holes (M12x30) on each side of the tank allow the application of various kits and the OSM installation on various poles and
structures. These threaded holes can also be used to install a set of lifting lugs on the tank. The earthing provision (M12x30 threaded
openings) is labelled for identification.
Support rails are made from 12 mm aluminum round profile. They are fixed on the tank by two set screws M10x12 holes can also be used
to install a set of lifting lugs on the tank.

5.1.3 Main contacts position indicator

The position indicator is located on the base of the tank and is clearly visible from the ground (see Figure 11).
When the OSM is closed, the indicator color is RED. The Indicator color changes to GREEN when the OSM is opened. According to IEC
standard, the “I” character should indicate that the OSM is closed and the “O” character will show that the OSM is opened. The housing
IP65 rating is retained through use of a transparent viewing window sealed with a silicon rubber gasket.
NOTE! Manual closing of the OSM is not possible. Closing can only be carried out through the recloser control cubicle.
Fig.11. Main contact position indicator

28
5.1.4 Current and voltage sensing

Current sensing is carried out by six Rogowski sensors, one on each HV terminal (see Figure 12). The sensors on the X1 X2 X3 terminals
have star-connected secondaries, which monitor phase currents. The sensors on the X4 X5 X6 terminals have delta-connected
secondaries, which provide residual current measurement.
Rogowski sensors are fundamentally air-cored CTs making them unsusceptible to current saturation when exposed to fault currents.
Furthermore, Rogowski sensors, unlike conventional current transformers, do not generate potentially hazardous voltages when the
secondary is an open circuit, as the absence of an iron core eliminates circuit loading and saturation concerns. As the iron core of the
current transformer becomes saturated, the CT's accuracy declines significantly, which limits the accuracy of its readings. CT's
reasonable accuracy is only maintained for currents in the range between 20-120% of rated primary current. This means that
conventional transformers are not efficient for identifying low currents where Rogowski sensors provide accurate primary current
readings across all ranges and outperform current transformers. Excellent linearity of Rogowski sensors eliminates problems with
selection of the CT rating which may need to be specified individually for a certain project.
The Rogowski sensor outputs a voltage proportional to the rate of change of the main circuit current. The output signal is digitally
integrated to generate a relationship between the output voltage U and the main circuit current I. This relationship could be written as
U=kˣI, where k is expressed in V/A.
Voltage sensing is carried out by a conductive rubber sheath that is capacitively coupled to the voltage applied to the HV terminals UHV.
The voltage sensors voltage U is proportional to the voltage applied to the HV terminals. This relationship could be written as U=kˣUHV,
where k is expressed in V/kV.
Fig.12. Combined current and voltage sensor
5.1.5 Bushing extensions

Bushings provide combined insulation of main circuits of the indoor switching module and protective tank. The external part of the
bushing is covered by light grey silicon rubber to protect against atmospheric influences. The terminals on the nominal (source) side are
marked X1, X2 and X3. The terminals furthest from the pole (load) side are correspondingly marked X4, X5 and X6. Bushings consist of
cupper rods that are covered with silicone rubber. The silicone rubber bushings provide the required creepage distance 31 mm/kV and a
taut string distance for BIL requirements (see Table 25).

5.1.6 Vacuum circuit breaker

The essence of OSM is Tavrida Electric vacuum circuit breaker (see Figure 17). Tavrida Electric has simplified the mechanical structure
of the vacuum circuit breaker to the greatest possible extent. It uses three single-coil magnetic actuators, one per pole. All switching
elements of a pole are assembled along a single axis. All mechanical movements are therefore direct and linear. Three actuators are
installed in a steel frame and mechanically linked by a synchronizing shaft.
Due to the design, any failure of critical components, such as mechanical latching, gears, chains, bearings and levers, tripping and
closing coils, motors to charge springs are completely avoided.
Tavrida Electric manufactures vacuum interrupters that combine small dimensions with extremely long mechanical and electrical
lifespan. The use of a specially designed axial magnetic field distribution provides even current density over the contact surface and
consequently substantial improvement of vacuum interrupting performance.
Carefully selected contact material, expert contact design and optimized switching result in bounce-free closing.
The result is 30 000 C-O operations at rated current or 200 C-O operations at maximum short-circuit breaking current without replacing
or adjusting any parts of the circuit breaker.
Tavrida Electric vacuum circuit breakers are entirely maintenance free over a total life expectancy of at least 30 years.

Fig.34. Rechargeable Battery
The power supply system is designed to provide optimum charging and long life of this battery.
The life expectancy of a Genesis battery on control cubicle application depends mainly on the ambient temperature. Float life time of the
accumulator battery is declared as 10 years at 25°C of the battery ambient temperature. In case of an average ambient temperature is
more than 25°C the following equation is used for calculating of float life acceleration factor:
FloatLife =10 / AF
AF = 2(0.125*T −3.125)
Where:
AF is acceleration factor,
T is the battery ambient temperature in °C.
Table 27 shows dependency of Battery Float Life Time vs Temperature.

5.1.17 Anti-condensation kit

The anti-condensation kit is designed for use in the RC5_3 to prevent condensation build-up inside the cubicle in tropical wet climate
areas (see Figure 41 and Figure 42).
NOTE! The anti-condensation kit is recommended for use in case of specific requirements for the humidity level inside the
enclosure.
The kit consists of thermostat, hygrostat, heater, miniature circuit breaker and ventilation valves. When relative humidity inside the
control cubicle exceeds a preset level, a relay in hygrostat trips and switches the heater on. The heater increases the air temperature
inside the control cubicle and therefore relative humidity decreases. Ventilation valves provide natural convection inside the control
cubicle, and therefore ensure the uniformity of temperature and humidity. When the temperature inside the control cubicle exceeds the
preset level, relay in the thermostat switches off heater. The hygrostat setting depends on climatic conditions. Manufacturer
recommends setting the hygrostat at 70%. Setting of thermostat should not exceed 55°С.

reaches the end of the user defined reclose sequence. At this point the recloser remains open and will not reclose automatically
anymore. This is known as lockout and the recloser can only be closed by local or remote operator command, which clears the lockout
52
condition. To control the number of trips to lockout in a reclosing sequence, the number has to be set. It can be selected individually for
low set (Nt) and high set (Nhs) protection elements, while Nhs cannot exceed Nt. If the high set elements (OC3, EF3) are enabled they can
initiate trip during the whole reclosing sequence defined by Nt. But only for trips 1..Nhs-1 it could be the trip to reclose. Finally the
reclosing sequence (Seq) has to be selected. The Seq setting consists of i=1..Nt characters. Seq[i]="I" means that the corresponding trip
in sequence is set instantaneous, Seq[i]="D" means that it is set to delayed. Each character enables or disables the operation of
instantaneous (OC2, EF2) elements on the corresponding step in sequence (counting characters from the left to the right). Reclosing will
be made only if the voltage from source side of reclosers (recloser is open) meets the requirements of VRC element. Otherwise, recloser
will not reclose and indicate "Reclosing suspended by VRC" in the Event log. If the voltage did not recover until Autoreclosing timeout is
expired, the recloser will go to lockout.
Single shot to lockout algorithm is supported by the AR OC element. This function allows to trip to lockout (without autoreclosing) if a
fault has been detected during Reset time (Tres) after operator closing into a fault.
The element also proceeds to open to lockout without reclosing when the following signals are activated:
Ÿ Hot Line On;
Ÿ Autoreclosing Off.

REZIP
The AR OC provides Rezip automation algorithm that enables complex distribution network automation. Rezip can be used in networks
where the recloser application is not possible due to protection coordination restrictions. The algorithm is initiated by an upstream
recloser trip. Once the loss of supply is detected, all Rezip reclosers will trip during recloser dead-time. When the recloser closes, it
restores supply to the closest Rezip recloser(s). It activates the ARLS timer and after a preset time Rezip reclosers will close restoring
the power supply to downstream Rezip recloser(s). Immediately after closure Rezip the recloser(s) are operating in Instantaneous
protection mode and if any of them detects the fault, it will trip before the upstream protection device will. By the time next Rezip recloser
is closer by the ARLS, the upstream Rezip OC/EF protection is disabled, so no grading between Rezip reclosers is needed.
55 TECHNICAL MANUAL
The algorithm provides the set-up simplicity of a traditional sectionalizer and at the same time reducing the fault clearing time and
network reconfiguration time application in far more complex networks and provide an unlimited number of sections to limit the number
of customers affected.
Rezip is applicable in meshed grid automation schemes together with ABR functionality. Rezip enables the building of self-healing
networks where it is not possible with conventional reclosers and sectionalizers.
Zone Sequence Coordination (ZSC)
The AR OC provides Zone Sequence Coordination (ZSC). ZSC forces the AR OC element to step to the next count in the reclose sequence
on reset of all protection elements if it detects a downstream protection device has operated. This functionality is required for
applications where a fuse-saving philosophy is used.
6.1.2.5 Loss of Supply (LS)

The LS element provides tripping resulted from loss of supply. This functionality is applicable for sectionalizing recloser in order to
support automatic backfeed restoration.
The operation of the element can be described as follows: It is passive as long as SD reports a source present. It becomes active when the
SD cannot find a source and a timer is activated for the duration of the set Tripping time (Tt). When this time expires and the source is still
not found, LS initiates a trip request to the driver to open the recloser. If the source is found whilst the timer is active, this element
becomes passive again and the timer is reset.
Ÿ Protection Off.
LS settings are described in Table 44.

6.1.2.6 Loss of Supply Autoreclosing (ARLS)

The ARLS element provides reclosing initiated by the LS element tripping.
The user set delay between power supply restoration and reclose is called Reclose time (Tr). If loss of supply occurs again prior to reset
time expiration, the recloser will trip again and will not reclose automatically. This is known as "lockout" and the recloser can only be
closed by local or remote operator command, which clears the lockout condition.

6.1.2.7 Hot Line (HL)

The HL element consists of two sub-elements which provide protection against short circuit faults during Hot Line maintenance. It
generally has more sensitive settings than corresponding OC/EF settings and it has no reclosing functions.
HL consists of two Overcurrent elements, one for Phase Overcurrent (HLOC) and one for Earth Fault (HLEF). Operation of either element
results in the trip to lockout.
The operation of HLOC can be described as follows: It starts counting the user set Tripping time (Tt), when the phase current exceeds the
Pickup current value (Ip). When this time expires and the phase current still exceeds the Pickup current value, HLOC initiates a trip
request to the driver to open the recloser.
The operation of HLEF can be described as follows: It starts timing the user set Tripping time (Tt), when the residual current In exceeds
the Pickup current value (Ip). When this time expires and the residual current still exceeds the Pickup current value, HLEF initiates a trip
The elements are blocked when the following signals are activated:
Ÿ Hot Line Off;
Ÿ Protection Off.

6.1.2.8 Sensitive Earth Fault (SEF)

The SEF element provides protection against high impedance earth faults.
SEF detects a fault by using two different algorithms: “Current”; “Current and angle”.
If the fault identification type is set to the "current" mode, the operation of the element can be described as follows: It starts timing the
user set Tripping time (Tt), when the residual current exceeds the Pickup current value (Ip). When this time expires and the residual
current still exceeds the Pickup current value, SEF initiates a trip request to the driver to open the recloser.
If the fault identification type is set to the “current and angle“ mode, the recloser uses voltage and current measurements to calculate
the phase angle between the zero sequence voltage and residual current. The user sets a torque angle (At) for sensitive earth fault
protection. When a fault occurs, the phase angle between the zero sequence voltage and residual current is calculated. Tripping is
subject to the two following conditions:
1) The current is greater than the threshold;
2) The phase angle between the zero sequence voltage and residual current is in the zone within +/- 90 degrees of the torque angle At.
SEF operation in the “current and angle“ mode is illustrated in Figure 47.

6.1.2.10 Voltage Unbalance (VU)

The VU element provides protection of sensitive load against an upstream broken wire. It is generally applied when an upstream device
cannot provide relevant protection. Otherwise it is generally disabled.
The operation of the element can be described as follows: It becomes active when the negative sequence voltage measured from Source
+ Side (U2+) exceeds the Voltage Unbalance (Uu) multiplied by the positive sequence voltage measured from Source + Side (U1+). Then a
timer is activated for the duration of the set Tripping time (Tt). When this time expires and U2 still exceeds a dropout value , VU initiates a
trip request to the driver to open the recloser.

6.1.2.11 Current Unbalance (CU)

The CU element provides protection against downstream broken wire. It is generally applied for protection of three phase loads sensitive
to voltage unbalance, for example, electrical motors.
The operation of the element can be described as follows: It becomes active when the negative sequence current (I2) exceeds the positive
sequence current multiplied (I1) by the Current Unbalance setting (Iu) and the Minimum I2 setting (I2min) . A timer is activated for the
duration of the set Tripping time (Tt). When this time expires and the negative sequence current still exceeds a dropout value , CU initiates

6.1.2.12 Voltage Reclosing Control (VRC)

The VRC element monitors the quality of the high voltage power supply. It blocks reclosing initiated by any AR element when voltage
and/or frequency do not meet user set values.
The operation of the element can be described as follows: It becomes active (power failure) when either the positive sequence voltage
measured from Source "+" side (U1+) is less than the phase voltage multiplied by Pickup voltage multiplier (Up-) or when the Frequency
measured from Source "+" side (F+) is less than the Pickup Frequency (Fp). It becomes passive (power good) as soon as both (U1+) and
(F+) exceed the above requirements.

and provides automatic backfeed restoration when relevant conditions are met.
Ÿ Protection Off;
Ÿ Hot Line On;
Ÿ Autoreclosing Off;

It can also be blocked by the SD and VRC protection elements.
ABR element settings are described in Table 78.

6.1.2.22 Autoreclosing Timeout (ART)

The ART element provides the autoreclosing timeout function used to lock out the recloser after a preset time. ART Timeout (Tt0) starts
when the recloser trips to reclose. If the recloser will not close prior to timeout expiration, the recloser will automatically go to lockout. If
the recloser will close prior to timeout expiration, ART timer will be reset and recloser will continue its autoreclosing cycle.
ART settings are described in Table 79.

6.1.2.23 Cold Load Pickup (CLP)

In some cases, when power supply is restored after prolonged outage, this results in greater than normal power demand. The main
cause of this problem is the large number of electric heaters, furnaces, refrigerators, air conditioners and other thermostat-controlled
loads. Higher current is often seen by protection as short circuit or overload, that result in circuit breakers automatically tripping to
protect the system from overload, and the power goes off again. The CLP element enables temporary increasing current pickup setting
to sustain cold load current and avoid tripping without compromising protection sensitivity. This functionality is applicable for the radial
type recloser as only in this case the duration of power interruption for a group of customers can be observed.
The CLP element caters for loss of load diversity due to an extended outage by increasing the Operational Cold Load Multiplier (OCLM)
from 1 to a user set value Cold Load Multiplier (CLM) over a user set period of time (Cold Load recognition time). The CLP element picks
up when the positive sequence current I1+ is less than 5A and the positive sequence voltage U1+ is less than 500V. Once supply is
restored the OCLM returns to one over a second user set time (Reset time). OCLM is recalculated every cycle and is applicable for OC1,
OC2, EF1 and EF2 elements.
CLP settings are described in Table 80.

Reset time Tres 1-400min 30

6.1.2.24 Close Condition Verifier (CCV)

The CCV element provides a synchro-check function, which compares the voltage of both supply sources. After verification of the
network synchronism, the synchro-check function releases the close command for the recloser. This functionality is applicable for the
ring type recloser.
CCV consists of two sub-elements: Synchronization Indicator (SI) and Close Logic Control (CLC).
Synchronization Indicator (SI)
This element consistently monitors the voltage and phase-angle difference to determine whether all the synchronous conditions are
existent:
1) Ratio of the difference between the positive sequence voltage measured from Source + Side (U1+) and the positive sequence voltage
measured from Source - Side (U1-) to the positive sequence voltage measured from Source + Side (U1+) does not exceed the
Maximum voltage difference (dU);
2) Angle between the positive sequence voltage measured from Source + Side (U1+) and the positive sequence voltage measured from
Source - Side (U1-) does not exceed the Maximum phase angle difference (dP);
3) Ratio of the difference between the neutral sequence voltage measured from Source + Side (Un+) and the neutral sequence voltage
measured from Source - Side (Un-) to the positive sequence voltage measured from Source + Side (U1+) does not exceed 90%;
4) Ratio of the negative sequence voltage measured from Source + Side (U2+) to the positive sequence voltage measured from Source +
Side (U1+) does not exceed 6% during one cycle;
5) Ratio of the negative sequence voltage measured from Source - Side (U2-) to the positive sequence voltage measured from Source -
Side (U1-) does not exceed 6% during one cycle.
SI settings are described in Table 81.

Maximum phase angle difference dP 5 - 90 degrees 5 degrees
Close Logic Control (CLC)

This element provides a close blocking function.
CLC provides a blocking function when all of the following conditions are met:
1) CCV On;
2) Recloser Opened;
3) “Hot+ / Dead- allowed”1 = “Disable” or VRC = “Power fail” or SD ≠ “Source +”;
4) “Hot- / Dead+ allowed”1 = “Disable” or VRC = “Power fail” or SD ≠ “Source –“;
5) “Dead+ / Dead- allowed”1 = “Disable” or VRC = “Power fail” or SD ≠ “Source lost” or U1+/U1- > 500V;
6) “Hot+ / Hot- allowed”1 = “Disable” or VRC = “Power fail” or SD ≠ “Source lost” or synchronous conditions are violated.
Note:

6.1.3 Fault locator (FL)
The fault locator (FL) is an optional feature provided only upon special request. It presents an independent firmware function which
provides impedance-based fault location. It is designed for radial and ring distribution systems. The algorithm is applicable for locating
short circuits in all kinds of distribution networks (unearthed, solidly earthed, resistance and reactance earthed neutral systems). Earth
fault location can be effectively used in solidly earthed, resistance and reactance earthed networks.
The fault distance is calculated based on measured current and voltage phasors. The result from the fault distance calculation is the
ohmic impedance value. Calculated impedance values are given in Table 83.
Table 83. Calculated impedance values
Impedance value, Ohm Description
X1_fault Estimated positive sequence reactance from the recloser to the fault location
X0_fault Estimated zero sequence reactance from the recloser to the fault location
Fault location algorithm requires accurate setting values for downstream line impedances. Positive sequence impedances are required
for locating short circuits and earth faults. FL settings are described in Tables 84, 85.

Calculated impedance values “X1_fault”, “X0_fault” and estimated fault distance are displayed in the Event log of the recloser for
OC/EF/SEF protection elements in case of lockout (refer to Table 86). Additionally calculated impedance values “X1_fault” and
“X0_fault” can be further processed in SCADA/DMS systems over standard communication protocols supported by the recloser.

Signal filtering effectively rejects higher harmonics. Phase current measuring channels are additionally equipped with inrush filters.
6.2.2 Inrush filter
The Rec series reclosers incorporate a unique inrush filter. This allows filtering of magnetizing currents occurring at energizing
transformers or distribution feeders with step-down-transformers.
In contrast to the widely used inrush restraint, which blocks the operation of protection for the period of inrush, the filter leaves all
protection active and sensitive to faults for the whole period of line energizing.
The advantages are:
• This feature makes it possible to select the settings of current-based protection elements based on actual load and fault levels, not
considering any side effects due to transformer load energizing;
• If, after maintenance closing or performing backfeed restoration for a faulty feeder part, the fault clearing time is significantly
reduced as all protection elements operate correctly without any delays.
Figures 48 and 49 demonstrate the comparison of current measurement results at load energizing captured by the recloser without and
with inrush filter enabled.

The Event log stores oscillograms of faults that could be later downloaded and viewed on PC. The oscillogram 1 second in length is
recorded for each fault. If the fault duration is more than 1 second then only first second of the fault is recorded. If the fault duration is
less than one second then the fault is recordered completely and the length of oscillogram equals the length of the fault. The sampling
rate is adjustable and can be set to 8, 16, 32 or 64.
Depending on the sampling rate defined in system settings (see Table 88), the following amount of oscillograms (1 second in length) can
be stored in RC memory. If the oscillograms are shorter the amount will vary accordingly. Table 89 gives a reference on the oscilogram
storage capacity.

The test procedure is divided into two parts.

TEST 1. OSM main contacts must be in the CLOSED position (test conditions 1-3 in the table).
1. Rise the AC voltage slowly;
2. Increase the voltage up to the limit specified in the table above and maintain for 1 min.
TEST 2. OSM main contacts must be in the OPEN position (test conditions 4-9 in the table).
1. Rise the AC voltage slowly;
2. Increase the voltage up to the limit specified in the table above and maintain for 1 min;
3. During this test, self-fading restrikes may appear. In this case reduce the voltage until that effect disappears (for 10…15s) and then
increase the voltage back to the required level;
4. If the test set uses long connecting wires, the restrikes may cause switching surges resulting in insulation failure during the test. To
avoid this effect, use the shortest possible wires. If the length of the connecting wires cannot be reduced below 3 m, correct the surge
impedance of the test set by connecting an R circuit as illustrated below;

APPENDIX 2. TCC
General
Time current curves (TCC) are supported by OC and EF protection elements. Available TCC are listed in Table 112.

TEL A, TEL I (custom): custom curves are available on request.
Time definite TCC

Time definite (TD) TCC is presented in Figure 94. TCC settings are described by two parameters: pickup current and tripping time. The
range of these parameters is described in Table 110.
TD TCC is provided with an instantaneous reset timer.

Setting Designation Range Resolution

Tripping time, s Tt 0.00-100.00 0.01

132
Inverse-time TCC (IEC and ANSI)

IEC / ANSI TCC are described by the following general equation:
where:
A, B, n – ANSI / IEC TCC constants;
TM – time multiplier;
Iac – asymptote current;
Tadd – time adder.
The constants are characterized by the type of current curve that is used. Types of current curves are described in Table 108. All
constants correspond to the values described in the IEC 60255-151.
Other parameters are variables and selected by the user. The range of these parameters is described in Table 109-110.
There are also three additional parameters that characterize the curve:
Ip- pickup current when protection element starts counting its tripping time;
Tmax- maximum tripping time. If the calculated tripping is higher than Tmax, the tripping time is automatically reduced to Tmax;
Tmin- minimum tripping time. If the calculated tripping time is lower than Tmin, the tripping time is automatically increased to Tmin.
IEC / ANSI TCC normally consist of three sections and presented in Figure 95.
1st section
2nd section
3rd section

If ,than the 1st section is absent and TCC has the following appearance:

If Tmin < Tadd than the 3rd section is absent and TCC has the following appearance:

2nd section
Fig.97. ANSI TCC (3rd section absent)

For IEC TCC, the reset time is constant and equal to Tres selected by the user. If the current value is below the pickup setting, then the
protection element counter does not immediately drops to zero, but counts the reset time.
For ANSI TCC the reset time is described by the following general equation:
where:
D – ANSI TCC constant

TEL Inverse TCC (TEL I)

TEL I TCC consists in general case of three inverse sections:
Fig.98. TEL I TCC (general view)

TEL I TCC parameters are described in Table 111.
Each separate section can be described with the following parameters:
Fig.99. TEL I TCC (section description)

Where:
Ias- asymptote current;
Ib, Tb - current and time corresponding to the beginning of particular section;
Ie, Te - current and time corresponding to the end of particular section.
136
When Ias is set to minimum possible value (10 A) the curvature of this section will be minimum. It will increase with I as approaching Ib :
Fig.100. EL I TCC (asymptote current effect on shape of the curve)

If the number of TEL I TCC sections is two then the curve has the following appearance:
Fig.101. TEL I TCC (two-section curve example)

If the number of TEL I TCC sections is one then the curve has the following appearance:

Third section asymptote I as3 1-6000 A 1A 10 A
Parameters Tmax, T1, T2, Tmin, I min, I1, I 2, I max can be only set when the following inequalities are valid:
I min < I1 < I 2 < I max , Tmax > T2 > T1 > Tmin .
When the number of sections is reduced or increased, default values for Tmax, T1, T2, Tmin, I min, I1, I 2, I max, I as1, I as2, I as3 are set.
These parameters can be set manually or by using the TELARM software.
TEL I is provided with an instantaneous reset timer.
