relays do not employ fault type supervision for the phase distance in all zones.
10.3.3.11 Zero-sequence directional characteristic
The extra zero-sequence characteristic applies to ground zones 2 and higher and is achieved by checking angles between:
•
A ground element — I_0
×
Z
D
and –V_0
• B ground element — I_0 × Z
D
and –V_0
• C ground element — I_0 × Z
D
and –V_0
The limit angle of the comparator is not adjustable and equals 90°. The zero-sequence directional characteristic improves
directional integrity for time-delayed operations after the memory expires.
10.3.3.12 Overcurrent supervision
The overcurrent supervision responds to the following currents:
•
AB phase element — (I
