In a normal transmission network a normal value of RCA is about 65°. The setting
range is -180° to +180°.

Normally voltage polarizing from the internally calculated residual sum or an
external open delta is used.
Current polarizing is useful when the local source is strong and a high sensitivity is
required. In such cases the polarizing voltage (3U
0
) can be below 1% and it is then
necessary to use current polarizing or dual polarizing. Multiply the required set
current (primary) with the minimum impedance (ZNpol) and check that the
