The calculated Iosin(φ) or Iocos(φ) current used in direction determination can be read
through the I_OPER monitored data. The value can be passed directly to a decisive
element, which provides the final pickup and trip signals.
The I_OPER monitored data gives an absolute value of the calculated
current.
The following examples show the characteristics of the different operation criteria:
Example 1.
Iosin(φ) criterion selected, forward-type fault
=> FAULT_DIR = 1

The operating sector is limited by angle correction, that is, the operating sector is 180
degrees - 2*(angle correction).
Example 2.
Iosin(φ) criterion selected, reverse-type fault
=> FAULT_DIR = 2
