The condition for operation at phase-to-phase fault is that the angle β between the two
compensated voltages Ucomp1 and Ucomp2 is greater than or equal to 90° (figure
67). The angle will be 90° for fault location on the boundary of the circle.
The angle β for L1-to-L2 fault can be defined according to equation
38.

to-L2 fault.
Operation occurs if 90≤β≤270.
Offset mho, forward direction
When forward direction has been selected for the offset mho, an extra criteria beside
the one for offset mho (90<β<270) is introduced, that is the angle φ between the
