11.1.3.1 Directional negative sequence overcurrent protection
Directional negative sequence overcurrent protection is typically used as sensitive ground-fault
protection of power lines where incorrect zero sequence polarization may result from mutual
induction between two or more parallel lines. Additionally, it can be used in applications on
underground cables where zero-sequence impedance depends on the fault current return paths,
but the cable negative-sequence impedance is practically constant. It shall be noted that
directional negative sequence OC element offers protection against all unbalance faults (phase-to-
phase faults as well). Care shall be taken that the minimum pickup of such protection function
shall be set above natural system unbalance level.
An example will be given, how sensitive-ground-fault protection for power lines can be achieved by
using negative-sequence directional overcurrent protection elements within a CVGAPC function.
This functionality can be achieved by using one CVGAPC function. The following shall be done to
ensure proper operation of the function:
1. Connect three-phase power line currents and three-phase power line voltages to one CVGAPC
instance (for example, GF04)
2. Set
3I2 current; this is essential for proper OC pickup level setting)
3. Set

4. Set base current

Application manual
The function has default setting of operate values and timers according to the
typical application as a power system back up protection. These settings should be
modified according to the system back up protection strategy of individual utility.
The recommended minimum time delay setting of function should be greater than
0.05s when used in process bus 9-2 application.
