motor. Therefore, there is a possibility to give a setting of a multiplication factor to the current
pick-up level. This multiplication factor is activated from a binary input signal to the function.
Power transformers can have a large inrush current, when being energized. This phenomenon is
due to saturation of the transformer magnetic core during parts of the period. There is a risk that
inrush current will reach levels above the pick-up current of the phase overcurrent protection. The
inrush current has a large 2

The phase overcurrent protection is often used as a protection for two and three phase short
circuits. In some cases, it is not wanted to detect single-phase ground faults by the phase
overcurrent protection. This fault type is detected and cleared after operation of ground fault
protection. Therefore, it is possible to make a choice how many phases, at minimum, that have to
have current above the pick-up level, to enable operation. If set

8.2.3 Setting guidelines
The parameters for the directional phase overcurrent protection, four steps OC4PTOC (51/67) are
set via the local HMI or PCM600.
The following settings can be done for OC4PTOC (51/67).
Common base IED values for the primary current (
SBase ) are set in global base values for settings function GBASVAL.
power (
GlobalBaseSel : Selects the global base value group used by the function to define IBase , VBase and
SBase . Note that this function will only use IBase value.
MeasType : Selection of discrete Fourier filtered ( DFT ) or true RMS filtered ( RMS ) signals. RMS is
used when the harmonic contents are to be considered, for example in applications with shunt
capacitors.
Operation : The protection can be set to Enabled or Disabled .
AngleRCA : Protection characteristic angle set in degrees. If the angle of the fault loop current has
the angle RCA, the direction to the fault is forward.
AngleROA : Angle value, given in degrees, to define the angle sector of the directional function,
shown in Figure 60.
NumPhSel : Number of phases, with high current, required for operation. The setting possibilities
are: 1 out of 3 , 2 out of 3 and 3 out of 3 . The default setting is 1 out of 3 .
PUMinOpPhSel : Minimum current setting level for releasing the directional start signals in % of IB .
This setting should be less than the lowest step setting. The default setting is 7% of

nd
harmonic current reaches a value above a set percent of the fundamental current.
2 of 3 or 3 of 3 single-phase ground faults are not detected.
When inverse time overcurrent characteristic is selected, the trip time of the stage
will be the sum of the inverse time delay and the set definite time delay. Thus, if
only the inverse time delay is required, it is important to set the definite time delay
for that stage to zero.
