there is a risk that the fault situation in one part of the feeding system can de-
energize the whole system connected to the LV side.

DPHxPDOC can be used for parallel operating transformer applications. In these
applications, there is a possibility that the fault current can also be fed from the LV-
side up to the HV-side. Therefore, the transformer is also equipped with directional
overcurrent protection.

Closed ring network topology
The closed ring network topology is used in applications where electricity
distribution for the consumers is secured during network fault situations. The
power is fed at least from two directions which means that the current direction can
be varied. The time grading between the network level stages is challenging
without unnecessary delays in the time settings. In this case, it is practical to use
the directional overcurrent IEDs to achieve a selective protection scheme.
Directional overcurrent functions can be used in closed ring applications. The
arrows define the operating direction of the directional functionality. The double
