tDef is the definite time delay, given in s, for the directional residual current protection.
tReset is the time delay before the definite timer gets reset, given in s. With a tReset time of few
cycles, there is an increased possibility to clear intermittent ground faults correctly. The setting
shall be much shorter than the set trip delay. In case of intermittent ground faults, the fault
current is intermittently dropping below the set value during consecutive cycles. Therefore the
definite timer should continue for a certain time equal to
dropped below the set value.

ROADir is Relay Operating Angle. ROADir is identifying a window around the reference direction in
order to detect directionality.
RCADir the function is blocked. The setting can be used to prevent unwanted operation for

non-faulted feeders, with large capacitive ground fault current contributions, due to CT phase
angle error.
INCosPhiPU is the pickup current level for the directional function when OpModeSel is set 3I0Cosfi .
The setting is given in % of
capacitive ground fault current at required sensitivity of the protection.
SN_PU is the pickup power level for the directional function when OpModeSel is set 3I03V0Cosfi .
The setting is given in % of
capacitive ground fault residual power at required sensitivity of the protection.
The input transformer for the Sensitive directional residual over current and power protection
function has the same short circuit capacity as the phase current transformers. Hence, there is no
specific requirement for the external CT core, i.e. any CT core can be used.
If the time delay for residual power is chosen the delay time is dependent on two setting
parameters.
The time delay will follow the following expression:
