and compensated networks, where fault detection is only alarming. It is intended to detect
ground faults regardless of their type (transient, intermittent or restriking, permanent, high
or low ohmic). The setting Voltage pickup value defines the basic sensitivity of the 67YN
function. In “Alarming EF” mode, the operate timer is started during the following
conditions.
• Ground fault is detected by the GFC
• Fault direction equals Directional mode setting
• Estimated stabilized fundamental frequency residual current exceeds the set Min trip
