A fault in C has to be applied, and then the maximum current seen from the IED (I
M
) on
the healthy line (this applies for single-phase-to-ground and two-phase-to-ground faults)
is calculated.

have been described in the previous paragraph. Considering the safety
margins mentioned previously, the minimum setting (Is) for the instantaneous phase
overcurrent protection 3-phase output is then:

EQUATION83 V2 EN (Equation 98)
The protection function can be used for the specific application only if this setting value
is equal or less than the maximum phase fault current that the IED has to clear.
The IED setting value Pickup is given in percentage of the primary base current value,
IBase. The value for Pickup is given from this formula:
