PRESENTATION OPERATION
Example 1.
When an Earth fault occurs and the level of current exceeds the
Low--set Io> trip threshold, the corresponding red LED above the
Low
adjustment illuminates. If the current remains for greater than the time
delay set by the adjustment marked Delay,
Delay the relay will then
energise. The red LED will then flash indicating a tripped condition.

    If the fault current has been removed, pressing the RESET button
will return the relay back to normal operation. The red LED will then
extinguish.

Example 2.
If a fault current occurs such that it exceeds the High-
High-set Io>> trip
threshold (and before the Delay has had time to elapse), the relay
will de-energise with no delay. The red LED above the High-
High-set
Io>> adjustment will flash.

GENERAL OVERVIEW
The P9620 (from the P9600 series family of IDMT/DT relays) is a microprocessor based relay EARTH FAULT
occurs
designed to monitor and detect Earth faults in 3-phase applications. Typically the P9620 is
wired in conjunction with external current transformers of the feeder to be protected.

The adjustments and indicators are laid out such to help the user during set-up and fault Low-set Io>
finding. The adjustment for the Low-
Low-set for example has its corresponding red LED positioned triggered
above it so it is clear to which function this LED relates to. The same also applies to the High-
High-
set adjustment and LED. Adjustment and LED operation is explained further on the next page.

The adjustable time delay Delay is assigned to the Low-
Low-set triggering only. The High-
High-set does t>
not have any adjustable delay and hence will trip instantaneously if triggered. If required, the
