External fault
For an external fault, the currents will be 180° out of phase and of equal magnitude:

which, of course, is less than OTH which is a positive value (settable 0.00 – 3.98).
Internal fault
For an internal fault, the currents will be practically in phase:
where OTH should be selected so that minimum internal fault current will produce trip.
