Example

Usually the A phase-to-ground voltage connected to the first VT channel number of the
transformer input module (TRM) is selected as the phase reference. The first VT channel number
depends on the type of transformer input module.
For a TRM with 6 current and 6 voltage inputs the first VT channel is 7. The setting
PhaseAngleRef =7 shall be used if the phase reference voltage is connected to that channel.
4.2.2

Setting of current channels

The direction of a current to the IED is depending on the connection of the CT. Unless indicated
otherwise, the main CTs are supposed to be Wye (star) connected and can be connected with the
grounding point to the object or from the object. This information must be set in the IED. The
convention of the directionality is defined as follows: A positive value of current, power, and so on
means that the quantity has the direction into the object and a negative value means direction out
from the object. For directional functions the direction into the object is defined as Forward and
the direction out from the object is defined as Reverse. See Figure
A positive value of current, power, and so on (forward) means that the quantity flows towards the
object. A negative value of current, power, and so on (reverse) means that the quantity flows away
from the object. See Figure 6.

Figure 6:
With correct setting of the primary CT direction,
positive quantities always flowing towards the protected object and a direction defined as
Forward always is looking towards the protected object. The following examples show the
principle.
