5 Special Functions
5.1 Tripping Current and Warning Limit Values Configuration
The TGD ELM can be configured to operate at different tripping current with 2 different characteristics (me-
dium and lag time).
The tripping current limit can only be configured to fix values matching the entries in the table.
TGD ELM-6: 1A (1000), 2A (2000), 3A (3000), 4A (4000) and 6A (6000)
TGD ELM-12: 4A (4000), 6A (6000), 8A (8000), 10A (10000) and 12A (12000)
Changing the tripping current limit value to a valid new one will reset the Alarm and Prewarning limit values
to 100% (Alarm) and 80% (Prewarning) of the configured tripping current.
Changing the tripping current limit to an invalid value will not reset the Alarm and Prewarning limit values to
default. They remain in the last configured state.
