Tilt angle should not exceed ~3 deg. However, such a low Tilt angle setting may
endanger the security of protection due to measurement errors of the CBCTs. In this
case, the phase angle of operation point should be increased by considering:

The DIRECTION output indicates on which operating sector the current is
measured. The FAULT_DIR output indicates in which operation sector the fault
current is measured. The output is operational once the function is started.
To adapt the fault direction determination to possible fault direction change during
the fault, for example, during manual fault location process, a cyclic accumulation
of sum admittance phasors is conducted. The duration of this directional evaluation
cycle is 1.2 ·
on the cyclic phasor accumulation is opposite to the function direction output for
Reset delay time or 500 ms (minimum of 500 ms), the function is reset and fault
direction calculation of MFADPSDE is restarted.
If the earth-fault protection generates alarms, MFADPSDE also includes a RESET
input which can be used to externally re-trigger the fault direction determination if
reevaluation of fault direction during a persistent earth fault is required.
It is also recommended to connect the start signal of non-directional earth fault
protection (EFxPTOC), set to operate in case of a cross-country fault, to RESET
input or BLOCK input of MFADPSDE to reset phasor accumulation during a cross-
country fault. MFADPSDE can then adapt to a fault direction change more rapidly if a
singlephase earth fault persists in the system after the other faulty feeder has been
tripped (the cross-country fault has been transformed into a single-phase earth
fault).
The direction of MFADPSDE is supervised by a settable current magnitude
threshold, setting
supervision is measured with a special filtering method, which provides a stable
