capacitance between the phase conductors and ground and the impedance of equipment
connected between the transformer neutral point and ground. In this network a Petersen
coil parallel with a neutral point resistor is connected to the transformer neutral. The active
ground fault current, that is, the residual current in phase with the residual voltage, is used
for line fault detection. The active residual current only flows on the connection from the
neutral point resistor and the fault point on the faulted line.
1. Set OpModeSel to 3I0Cosfi if the current component is related to the set
characteristic angle relative to the reference voltage, or 3I03V0Cosfi if the power
component is related to the set characteristic angle relative to the reference voltage,
or
3I0 and fi, if measuring the total residual current if the angle fi is within the set
range.
The active ground fault current, out on the faulted feeder, can be calculated by first
to calculate the residual voltage at required sensitivity (fault resistance).
