6.4.2 Application
The four step residual overcurrent protection, zero or negative sequence direction
EF4PTOC (51N_67N) is used in several applications in the power system. Some
applications are:
• Ground-fault protection of feeders in effectively grounded distribution systems.
Normally these feeders have radial structure.
• Back-up ground-fault protection of subtransmission and transmission lines.
• Sensitive ground-fault protection of transmission lines. EF4PTOC (51N_67N) can
have better sensitivity to detect resistive phase-to-ground-faults compared to distance
protection.
• Back-up ground-fault protection of power transformers with ground source at
substation.
• Ground-fault protection of different kinds of equipment connected to the power
system such as shunt capacitor banks, shunt reactors and others.
• Negative sequence direcitonal ground-fault protection of feeders with PTs connected
in Open Delta connection from which it is not possible to derive Zero sequence
voltage.
• Negative sequence directional ground-fault protection of double-circuit medium or
long transmission lines with significant mutual coupling.
In many applications several steps with different current pickup levels and time delays are
needed. EF4PTOC (51N_67N) can have up to four, individual settable steps. The
flexibility of each step of EF4PTOC (51N_67N) is great. The following options are
possible:
