accidental event be given precaution, the phase-to-earth reach (RFPEZx) of all
instantaneous zones has to be set below the emergency load for the pole-open
situation. Again, this is only for the application where there is a risk that one
breaker pole would open without a preceding fault. If this never happens, for
example when there is no parallel circuit, there is no need to change any phase-to-
earth reach according to the pole-open scenario.

IMinOpPEZx and IMinOpPPZx
The ability for a specific loop and zone to issue a start or a trip is inhibited if the
magnitude of the input current for this loop falls below the threshold value defined
by these settings. The output of a phase-to-earth loop Ln is blocked if ILn <
IminOpPE (Zx). In is the RMS value of the fundamental current in phase n.
The output of a phase-to-phase loop LmLn is blocked if ILmLn < IMinOpPP (Zx).
ILmLn is the RMS value of the vector difference between phase currents Lm and
Ln.
Both current limits IMinOpPEZx and IMinOpPPZx are automatically reduced to
75% of regular set values if the zone is set to operate in reverse direction, that is,
OperationDir is set to Reverse .
OpModePPZx and OpModePEZx
These settings, two per zone (x=1,2..5&RV), with options {Off, Quadrilateral,
Mho, Offset}, are used to set the operation and characteristic for phase-to-earth and
phase-to-phase faults, respectively.
For example, in one zone it is possible to choose Mho characteristic for the three
Ph-Ph measuring loops and Quadrilateral characteristic for the three Ph-E
measuring loops.
DirModeZx
This setting defines the operating direction for zones Z3, Z4 and Z5 (the
directionality of zones Z1, Z2 and ZRV is fixed). The options are
Non-directional ,
Forward or Reverse . The result from respective set value is illustrated in figure 182 ,
where the positive impedance corresponds to the direction out on the protected
line.
