TRIP RESET TIME
Range: 0.00 to 180.00 s in steps of 0.01 s
Default: 1.00 s
This setting defines the linear reset time of the trip element time accumulator. It is the
maximum reset time from the threshold of tripping based on the motor unbalance
inverse curve. The reset time has an accumulator/integrator to represent the thermal
memory counter which increments linearly if the motor unbalance current is above the
threshold, and decrements linearly if it is below the threshold. This setting is only
applicable when Trip Curve is programmed as Inverse Time.

TRIP DROPOUT DELAY
Range: 0.00 to 180.00 s in steps of 0.01 s
Default: 1.00 s
The setting specifies a time delay to reset the trip command. This delay must be set long
enough to allow the breaker or contactor to disconnect the motor. This setting is only
applicable when Trip Curve is programmed as Definite Time.

ALARM FUNCTION
Range: Disabled, Alarm, Latched Alarm
Default: Disabled
The setting enables the Current Unbalance Alarm functionality.
ALARM PICKUP
Range: 4.0 to 50.0% in steps of 0.1%
Default: 10%
The Alarm Pickup setting specifies a pickup threshold for the alarm function.
For example, if the supply voltage is normally unbalanced up to 2%, the current
unbalance seen by a typical motor is 2 × 6 = 12%. In this case, set the current unbalance
alarm pickup to "15%" and the current unbalance trip pickup to "20%" to prevent
nuisance tripping; 5 or 10 seconds is a reasonable delay.
