Time Delay CV is the time setting for the change of current criterion. Phase current
samples are included in input signal I3P.
Zero sequence current criterion
Zero sequence criterion is mainly for detection of remote IED high resistance faults or
some gradual faults. The criterion takes the zero sequence current as input. Zero
sequence current is compared with
PU 3I0 for the t3I0 time to generate the zero
sequence current startup signal.

Figure 68: Zero sequence current criterion logic diagram
Here PU 3I0 is the setting of the maximum possible non-faulted zero sequence current
for the protected line. The default value for this setting is 0.1 · IBase where IBase is the
rated current of the CT.
t3I0 is the time setting for the zero sequence current criterion.
