Then a fault in A has to be applied and the through fault current I
fA
has to be calculated,
figure 79 . In order to get the maximum through fault current, the minimum value for Z
B
and the maximum value for Z
A
have to be considered.

The IED must not trip for any of the two through-fault currents. Hence the minimum
theoretical current setting (Imin) will be:

EQUATION78 V1 EN
(Equation 94)
A safety margin of 5% for the maximum protection static inaccuracy and a safety margin
of 5% for the maximum possible transient overreach have to be introduced. An additional
20% is suggested due to the inaccuracy of the instrument transformers under transient
conditions and inaccuracy in the system data.
