The active tripping curve and the planned selectivity can be exactly represented in
the NZM-XPC-SOFT based on the selected switch settings and tripping
characteristic. Selection of the optimum protective parameters is supported during
the commissioning phase and verified by a direct comparison of the upstream and
downstream protective devices.
