current is above a pickup level (overcurrent unit) and the fault direction is seen as forward or reverse, respectively
(directional unit).
The overcurrent unit responds to the magnitude of a fundamental frequency phasor of either the neutral current
calculated from the phase currents or the ground current. There are separate pickup settings for the forward-looking and
reverse-looking functions. If set to use the calculated 3I_0, the element applies a positive-sequence restraint for better
performance: a small user-programmable portion of the positive-sequence current magnitude is subtracted from the
zero-sequence current magnitude when forming the operating quantity.
The positive-sequence restraint allows for more sensitive settings by counterbalancing spurious zero-sequence currents
resulting from:
• System unbalances under heavy load conditions
• Transformation errors of current transformers (CTs) during double-line and three-phase faults
• Switch-off transients during double-line and three-phase faults
