EQUATION1201 V3 EN-US (Equation 115)
The current setting for step 1 is chosen as the largest of the above calculated
residual currents, measured by the protection.
Step 2
M15282-144 v7
This step has directional function and a short time delay, often about 0.4 s. Step 2
shall securely detect all earth faults on the line, not detected by step 1.

The residual current, out on the line, is calculated at an operational case with
minimal earth-fault current. The requirement that the whole line shall be covered
by step 2 can be formulated according to equation 116.

To assure selectivity the current setting must be chosen so that step 2 does not
operate at step 2 for faults on the next line from the remote substation. Consider a
fault as shown in Figure
89.
