polMethod. The polarizing quantity will be selected by the function in one of the following
three ways:
1. When polMethod = Voltage, VPol will be used as polarizing quantity.
2. When polMethod = Current, IPol will be used as polarizing quantity.
3. WhenpolMethod = Dual, VPol + IPol · ZNPol will be used as polarizing quantity.
The operating and polarizing quantity are then used inside the directional element, as
shown in figure 
38, in order to determine the direction of the ground fault.
