X-, R- and Load resistance settings are secondary impedances.
Primary values of settings are displayed in VAMPSET
and display.
Voltage memory
A 0.5 second cyclic buffer storing the phase-to-earth voltages is
used as voltage memory. The stored phase angle information is
used as direction reference if all the phase voltages drop below
1% during a fault.
