The wattmetric zero-sequence directional element responds to power derived from zero-
sequence voltage and current in a direction specified by the element characteristic angle.
The angle can be set within all four quadrants and the power can be active or reactive.
Therefore, the element can be used to sense either forward or reverse ground faults in
inductive, capacitive, or resistive networks. The inverse time characteristic allows time
coordination of elements across the network.
Typical applications include ground fault protection in solidly grounded transmission
networks, grounded/ungrounded/resistor-grounded/resonant-grounded distribution
networks, or for directionalizing other non-directional ground elements.
