Ground Directional Element
The negative-sequence voltage polarized directional element 32QG listed in
supervises the ground-distance elements and residual ground direc-
tional overcurrent elements. The negative-sequence voltage polarized directional
element 32Q illustrated in
only supervises the phase-distance ele-
ments.
The relay internal logic selects the best choice for directional supervision accord-
ing to prevailing power system conditions during the ground fault. The logic
determines the best choice for the ground directional element (32G) from among
the negative-sequence voltage-polarized directional element (32QG), zero-
sequence voltage-polarized directional element (32V), or the zero-sequence cur-
rent-polarized directional element (32I). The ground directional element also
supervises the quadrilateral ground-distance elements.
During the single-pole open condition (SPO is a logical 1), the relay supervises
the ground directional element with an open-pole directional element. The pur-
pose of this directional element is to ensure secure operation of the distance ele-
ments during the single-pole open condition. The operation of the single-pole
open directional element is indicated by the 32SPOF and the 32SPOR Relay
Word bits.
As the single-pole open directional element may operate because of unbalance
currents generated during the single-pole open condition, it is recommended that
ground and negative-sequence overcurrent elements that are used for single-pole
tripping be supervised by the single-pole open condition. To supervise overcur-
rent elements during the single-pole open condition, set the element torque con-
trol equation (67G
