Outputs
Activation condition
I/I0 Arc> Ph. curr.
START
I/I0 Arc> Res. curr.
START
The measured phase current or the residual current is over the set limit.
I/I0 Arc> Ph. curr.
BLOCKED
I/I0 Arc> Res. curr.
BLOCKED
The phase current or the residual current measurement is blocked by an input.
I/I0 Arc> Zone 1 TRIP
I/I0 Arc> Zone 2 TRIP
I/I0 Arc> Zone 3 TRIP
I/I0 Arc> Zone 4 TRIP
All required conditions for tripping the zone are met (light OR light and current).
I/I0 Arc> Zone 1
BLOCKED
I/I0 Arc> Zone 2
BLOCKED
I/I0 Arc> Zone 3
BLOCKED
I/I0 Arc> Zone 4
BLOCKED
All required conditions for tripping the zone are met (light OR light and current) but the tripping is
blocked by an input.
I/I0 Arc> S1 Sensor fault
I/I0 Arc> S2 Sensor fault
I/I0 Arc> S3 Sensor fault
I/I0 Arc> S4 Sensor fault
The detected number of sensors in the channel does not match the settings.
I/I0 Arc> IO unit fault
The number of connected AQ-100 series units does not match the number of units set in the
settings.
The operational logic consists of the following:
• input magnitude selection
• input magnitude processing
• threshold comparator
• two block signal checks
• output processing.
The inputs for the function are the following:
• operating mode selections
• setting parameters
• digital inputs and logic signals
• measured and pre-processed current magnitudes.
The function outputs the TRIP, BLOCKED, light sensing etc. signals which can be used for direct I/O
controlling and user logic programming. The function generates general time-stamped ON/OFF events
to the common event buffer from each of the 26 output signals. The time stamp resolution is 1 ms. The
function also a resettable cumulative counter for the TRIP and BLOCKED events for each zone.
Example of scheme setting
The following examples helps the user better understand how the arc protection function is set. In the
examples AQ-101 models are used to extend the protection of Zone 2 and to protect each outgoing
feeder (Zone 3).
Scheme IA1 is a single-line diagram with AQ-2xx series relays and with AQ-101 arc protection relays.
The settings are for an incomer AQ-200 relay.
