Option Z provides selectivity and reduces
the duration of fault compared to traditional
time-delayed selectivity. By interconnecting
several control units, it locates the ground
fault and allows the upstream circuit breaker

Circuit breaker A will clear the fault within the

Option Z on the STR 58U trip unit provides

A pilot wire links several trip units in the

distribution network, as shown in the
opposite figure.
In the event of a fault, the trip unit will obey
the pre-set delay only if receiving a signal
ca
from the downstream unit. If not receiving a

signal, the tripping will be instantaneous.
Therefore, the fault is cleared
instantaneously by the nearest circuit
breaker:
the thermal stresses (l"t) in the network are

minimized, without any effect on the correct

time delay coordination in the installation.

Circuit breaker A will clear the fault
