By calculating the reactive current component (sin
adjustment) and then comparing the phase
angle in relation to the residual voltage UE, the ER/XR-relay type determines whether the line to be
protected is earth-faulted.
On non-earth-faulted lines, the capacitive component Ic(a) of the total current precedes the residual
voltage by an angle of 90°. In case of a faulty line the capacity current IC(b) lags behind the residu-
al voltage at 90°.
