Section 7 1MAC050144-MB C Control functions The Auto init parameter defines which INIT_X lines are activated in the auto-initiation. The default value for this parameter is "0", which means that no auto-initiation is selected.

Therefore, each initiation line can be used for both initiating and blocking any or all autoreclose shots. Other conditions that must be fulfilled before any CBB can be initiated are, for example, the closed position of the circuit breaker.

Section 11 1MAC050144-MB C General function block features • Peak-to-peak with peak backup Consequently, the measurement mode can be selected according to the application. In extreme cases, for example with high overcurrent or harmonic content, the measurement modes function in a slightly different way. The Pickup accuracy is defined with the frequency range of f/fn=0.95...1.05.

Section 11 1MAC050144-MB C General function block features Peak-to-peak with peak backup The peak-to-peak with peak backup measurement principle is selected with the Measurement mode setting using the value "P-to-P+backup". It is similar to the peak-to-peak mode, with the exception that it has been enhanced with the peak backup. In the peak-to-peak with peak backup mode, the function starts with two conditions: the peak-to-peak value is above the set pickup current or the peak value is above two times the set Pickup value.
