To assure that step 3 detects all short circuits on the adjacent lines out from the local
busbar a phase-phase short circuit is applied at fault points 9 and 10. The source
impedance at line end B should be maximized (minimum short circuit power) at this
calculation. Resulting phase current is I

= 0.46 kA
Delay of I> should be set larger than the delay of distance protection zone 2
(normally 0.4 s), this means normally at least 0.8 s.
Step 3 should be set so that the maximum load current out on the line does not give
unwanted trip.

where ƞ is the reset ratio of the overcurrent function. For the overcurrent function in
the IED, ƞ = 0.95.
In this case it is not possible to fulfil the requirement above. Priority is given to
selectivity, choosing setting 1100 A and accepting that the phase overcurrent
protection cannot act as remote back-up protection for the remote lines.

3.1.10 Calculating settings for four step residual overcurrent
protection, zero or negative sequence direction
EF4PTOC(51N_67N)
The residual overcurrent protection is more difficult to set as the ground-fault current is
highly dependent of the network configuration in the power system. In order to achieve
setting that assure selective fault clearance a large number of calculations have to be made
with different fault locations, different switching states in the system and different
ground-fault types. Below one example of setting of four step residual overcurrent
protection for a line in a meshed solidly grounded system is given.
