Technical Manual
In compensated networks, the capacitive fault current and inductive resonance coil
current compensate each other, meaning that the fault current is mainly resistive and
has zero phase shift compared to the residual voltage. In such networks, the
characteristic angle is chosen as 0º. Often the magnitude of an active component is
small and must be increased by means of a parallel resistor in a compensation coil. In
networks where the neutral point is earthed through a low resistance, the characteristic
angle is always 0º.
As the amplitude of the residual current is independent of the fault location, the
selectivity of the earth-fault protection is achieved with time coordination.
The use of wattmetric protection gives a possibility to use the dedicated inverse
definite minimum time characteristics. This is applicable in large high-impedance
earthed networks with a large capacitive earth-fault current.
In a network employing a low-impedance earthed system, a medium-size neutral point
resistor is used. Such a resistor gives a resistive earth-fault current component of about
200 - 400 A for an excessive earth fault. In such a system, the directional residual
power protection gives better possibilities for selectivity enabled by the inverse time
power characteristics.
