In is the rated current of current sensors (CT rating) (adjustable from 1 A to 6250 A).
Unp is the rated phase to phase voltage of the voltage sensor primary (adjustable from 220 V to 250 kV).
Ino is the rating of the residual current sensors.
Ib is the current corresponding to the equipment's rated power, adjustable from 0.4 to 1.3 In.
The setting of current, voltage and frequency values is carried out by directly inputting the value; (resolution: 1A, 1V, 0.1 hz, 1°C or F).
