Technical manual
The function indicate forward/reverse direction to the fault. Reverse direction is defined
as φ is within the angle sector: RCADir + 180° ± ROADir
This sub-function has definite time delay.

Directional functions

For all the directional functions there are directional pickup signals PUFW: fault in the
forward direction, and PUREV: Pickup in the reverse direction. Even if the directional
function is set to operate for faults in the forward direction a fault in the reverse direction
will give the pickup signal PUREV. Also if the directional function is set to operate for
faults in the reverse direction a fault in the forward direction will give the pickup signal
PUFW.
Non-directional ground fault current protection
This function will measure the residual current without checking the phase angle. The
function will be used to detect cross-country faults. This function can serve as alternative
or back-up to distance protection with phase preference logic.
The non-directional function is using the calculated residual current, derived as sum of the
phase currents. This will give a better ability to detect cross-country faults with high
residual current, also when dedicated core balance CT for the sensitive ground fault
protection will saturate.
This sub-function has the possibility of choice between definite time delay and inverse
time delay. The inverse time delay shall be according to IEC 60255-3.
For trip, the residual current 3I
When the function is activated binary output signal PUNDIN is activated. If the output
signal is active after the set delay tINNonDir or after the inverse time delay the binary
output signals TRIP and TRNDIN are activated.
Residual overvoltage release and protection
The directional function shall be released when the residual voltage gets higher than a set
level.
There shall also be a separate trip, with its own definite time delay, from this level set
voltage level.
For trip, the residual voltage 3V
Trip from this function can be blocked from the binary input BLKVN.
