Fault evaluation and selection logic
The phase selection logic has an evaluation procedure that can be simplified according
to figure
153 . Only phase A is shown in the figure. If the internal signal 3 Phase fault is
activated, all four outputs PICKUP, PU_A, PU_B and PU_C gets activated.

Load encroachment logic
Each of the six measuring loops has its own load (encroachment) characteristic based
on the corresponding loop impedance. The load encroachment functionality is always
activated in faulty phase identification with load encroachment for mho (FMPSPDIS,
21) function but the influence on the zone measurement can be switched Enabled/
Disabledin the respective impedance measuring function.
The outline of the characteristic is presented in figure 154 . As illustrated, the resistive
reach in forward and reverse direction and the angle of the sector is the same in all four
quadrants. The reach for the phase selector will be reduced by the load encroachment
function, as shown in figure
154 .
Blinder
Blinder provides a mean to discriminate high load from a fault. The operating
characteristic is illustrated in figure
154 . There are six individual measuring loops with
the blinder functionality. Three phase-to-ground loops which estimate the impedance
