Based on the entered setting the relay calculates:

For the assumed steady-state injection the relay calculates:
VA_1 = 58.83 V

VA_1M = 64.71 V

I_0 = 1.37 A

Overcurrent supervision: | 3

I_0 | = 4.09 A > 3 A
•
Mho difference angle = | –3.9° – 0° | = 3.9° < 75°
•
Reactance difference angle = | –3.9° – 19.8° | = 23.7° < 75°
•
Zero-sequence directional difference angle = | 19.8° – 0.0° | = 19.8° < 75°
•
Negative-sequence directional difference angle = | 19.8° – 0.0° | = 19.8° < 75°
•
Fault-type comparator difference angle = | 19.8° – 19.8° | = 0.0° < 50°
All four comparators and the overcurrent supervision are satisfied, so the MHO phase A ground element operates for this
fault.
10.3.6.3 Mho phase A to ground element (after memory expires)
After the memory expires, the relay checks the actual positive-sequence voltage and compares it with 10% of the nominal
voltage:
