6. Set tVN to 0.001 s
Setting tVN gives the pick-up delay for residual voltage. The default value 0.001 s is
proposed.
7. Set tOffVN to 0.1 s
Setting tOffVN gives the drop-off delay for residual voltage. The default value 0.1 s
is proposed.

tOffVN to 0.1 s
8. Set tIN to 0.15 s
Setting tIN gives the pick-up delay for residual current. The default value 0.15 s is
proposed.
3.2.2 Calculating settings for sensitive directional residual
overcurrent protection SDEPSDE 67N
In high impedance grounded system the ground fault current, at single phase-to-ground
fault, is small compared to the fault current at phase-to-phase short circuit. Therefore it is
difficult and normally not possible to use distance protection as ground fault protection.
In many networks it is also required to detect and clear phase-to-ground faults with a high
resistance to ground in the fault point. The ground fault current is limited by the
