2.5.2
Overvoltage Protection 59
Function
The overvoltage protection has two elements. In case of a high overvoltage, tripping switch off is performed
with a short-time delay, whereas in case of less severe overvoltages, the tripping is performed with a longer
time delay. When one of the adjustable settings is exceeded, the 59 element picks up and trips after an adjust-
able time delay has elapsed. The time delay is not dependent on the magnitude of the overvoltage.
The dropout ratio for the two overvoltage elements (= V
