7.6.2 Functionality
Negative sequence based overcurrent function (DNSPTOC, 46) may be used in power
line applications where the reverse zero sequence source is weak or open, the forward
source impedance is strong and it is desired to detect forward ground faults.
Additionally, it is applied in applications on cables, where zero sequence impedance
depends on the fault current return paths, but the cable negative sequence impedance is
practically constant.
The directional function is current and voltage polarized. The function can be set to
forward, reverse or non-directional independently for each step.
DNSPTOC (46) protects against all unbalanced faults including phase-to-phase faults.
The minimum pickup current of the function must be set to above the normal system
unbalance level in order to avoid unwanted tripping.
