4.4.1.3 Functionality
The negative-sequence overcurrent protection NSPTOC is used for increasing
sensitivity to detect single-phase and phase-to-phase faults or unbalanced loads due
to, for example, broken conductors or unsymmetrical feeder voltages.
NSPTOC can also be used for detecting broken conductors.
The function is based on the measurement of the negative sequence current. In a
fault situation, the function starts when the negative sequence current exceeds the
set limit. The operate time characteristics can be selected to be either definite time
(DT) or inverse definite minimum time (IDMT). In the DT mode, the function
