NEUTRAL CURRENT
NEUTRAL IOC1(12)
The neutral instantaneous overcurrent element can be used as an instantaneous function with no intentional delay or as a
definite time function. The element essentially responds to the magnitude of a neutral current fundamental frequency
phasor calculated from the phase currents. A positive-sequence restraint is applied for better performance. A small portion
(6.25%) of the positive-sequence current magnitude is subtracted from the zero-sequence current magnitude when
forming the operating quantity of the element as follows:
I
op
= 3 x (|I_0| - K x |I_1|) where K = 1/16
Eq. 5-18
The positive-sequence restraint allows for more sensitive settings by counterbalancing spurious zero-sequence currents
resulting from:
•
System unbalances under heavy load conditions
•
Transformation errors of current transformers (CTs) during double-line and three-phase faults
•
Switch-off transients during double-line and three-phase faults
