4.2.6.6 Measurement modes
The function operates on three alternative measurement modes: "RMS", "DFT" and
"Peak-to-Peak". The measurement mode is selected with the Measurement mode setting.
4.2.6.7 Application
The wattmetric method is one of the commonly used directional methods for detecting the
ground faults especially in compensated networks. The protection uses the residual power
