7.3.2
Application
In many applications, when fault current is limited to a defined value by the object impedance, an
instantaneous ground-fault protection can provide fast and selective tripping.
The Instantaneous residual overcurrent EFPIOC (50N), which can operate in 15 ms (50 Hz nominal
system frequency) for faults characterized by very high currents, is included in the IED.
7.3.3
Setting guidelines
The parameters for the Instantaneous residual overcurrent protection EFPIOC (50N) are set via the
local HMI or PCM600.
Some guidelines for the choice of setting parameter for EFPIOC (50N) is given.

The basic requirement is to assure selectivity, that is EFPIOC (50N) shall not be allowed to operate
for faults at other objects than the protected object (line).
For a normal line in a meshed system single phase-to-ground faults and phase-to-phase-to-
ground faults shall be calculated as shown in figure

should be used. For the fault at the home busbar this fault current is I
