Pick Up Current | Current Setting | Plug Setting Multiplier and Time
From current setting we calculate the trick current of the relay. Say current setting of the relay is 150 % therefore pick up current of the relay is 1 × 150% = 1.5 A.

Relay Settings Calculations
During CT saturation, current resulting from CT errors appears as differential current and can cause relay mal-operation. To avoid relay mal-operation, set Slope 2 as high as possible.
