Neutral inverse time over-current   50N -

This is the inverse time over-current alarm for the neutral current measurement.

The alarm response is based on the unfiltered (except for anti-aliasing) neutral current, as measured by the 4th current measurement.

The alarm response time depends on an approximated integral of the current measurement over time. The integral is only updated when the measurement is above the activation threshold.

Note: The diagram on the right is a simplified representation of this alarm. The diagram does not show the integral over time.
