device detects forward direction. In the mirrored area, the device detects reverse direction. In the intermediate
area, the direction result is undefined.
In a network, the vector of the fault current is usually in the forward or reverse area. If the vector moves out of
one these areas, e.g. the forward area, in direction of the undefined area, it leaves the forward area at V
ref,rot
±86° and reaches the undefined area. If the vector leaves the undefined area in direction of the forward area
(or reverse area), a hysteresis of 2° is added. This hysteresis prevents chattering of the directional result. The
current vector reaches the forward area at ±84° (= 86°-2° hysteresis).

Direction Determination of Directional Ground Element with Ground Values
Figure 2-31 shows the treatment of the reference voltage for the directional ground element, also based on a
single-phase ground fault in phase A. Contrary to the directional phase elements, which work with the
unfaulted voltage as reference voltage, the fault voltage itself is the reference voltage for the directional
ground element. Depending on the connection of the voltage transformer, this is the voltage 3V

Figure 2-31 ) or V

The forward area is also a range of ±86° around the rotated reference voltage V

. If the vector of the fault
current -

0
(or
Ι

) is in this area, the device detects forward direction.
