The function registers its operation into the last twelve (12) time-stamped registers. The register of the
function records the ON event process data for START, TRIP or BLOCKED. The table below

5.4.5 Negative sequence overcurrent/ phase current reversal/ current unbalance
protection (I2>; 46/46R/46L)
The current unbalance function is used for instant and time-delayed unbalanced network protection
and for detecting broken conductors. The number of stages in the function depends on the
relay model. The operating decisions are based on negative and positive sequence current magnitudes
which the function constantly measures. In the broken conductor mode (I2/I1) the minimum allowed
loading current is also monitored in the phase current magnitudes.
There are two possible operating modes available: the I2 mode monitors the negative sequence
current, while the I2/I1 mode monitors the ratio between the negative sequence current and the
positive sequence current. The relay calculates the symmetrical component magnitudes in use from
the phase current inputs

and

. The zero sequence current is also recorded into the registers
as well as the angles of the positive, negative and zero sequence currents in order to better verify any
fault cases. The blocking signal and the setting group selection control the operating characteristics of
the function during normal operation, i.e. the user or user-defined logic can change function
parameters while the function is running.
The current unbalance function uses a total of eight (8) separate setting groups which can be selected
from one common source.
The function can operate on instant or time-delayed mode. In time-delayed mode the operation can be
selected between definite time (DT) or inverse definite minimum time (IDMT). The IDMT operation
supports both IEC and ANSI standard time delays as well as custom parameters.
The operational logic consists of the following:
• input magnitude selelction
• input magnitude processing
• threshold comparator
• block signal check
• time delay characteristics
• output processing.
