The selection of the calculation method is made with a setting parameter (common for all measurement
channels).
General settings
The following general settings define the general behavior of the function. These settings are static i.e.
it is not possible to change them by editing the setting group.

setting parameters control the the pick-up and activation of the
function. They define the maximum allowed measured current THD before action from the function.
Before the function activates alarm signals, their corresponding pick-up elements need to be activated
with the setting parameters
Enable phase THD alarm, Enable I01 THD alarm and Enable I02 THD
alarm. The function constantly calculates the ratio between the setting values and the calculated THD
for each of the three phases. The reset ratio of 97 % is built into the function and is always relative to
the setting value. The setting value is common for all measured phases. When the calculated THD
exceeds the pick-up value (in single, dual or all phases), it triggers the pick-up operation of the
function.

THD
pick-up
0.10…100.00% 0.01% 10.00%
The pick-up setting for the THD alarm element from the phase currents. At
least one of the phases' measured THD value has to exceed this setting in
order for the alarm signal to activate.
I01 THD
pick-up
0.10…100.00% 0.01% 10.00%
The pick-up setting for the THD alarm element from the residual current I01.
The measured THD value has to exceed this setting in order for the alarm
signal to activate.
I02 THD
pick-up
0.10…100.00% 0.01% 10.00%
The pick-up setting for the THD alarm element from the residual current I02.
The measured THD value has to exceed this setting in order for the alarm
signal to activate.
The pick-up activation of the function is not directly equal to the START signal generation of the
function. The START signal is allowed if the blocking condition is not active.
Read-only parameters
The relay's
Info page displays useful, real-time information on the state of the protection function. It is
accessed either through the relay's HMI display, or through the setting tool software when it is
connected to the relay and its Live Edit mode is active.
