where k is the transient overreach (due to fault current DC-component) of the
overcurrent function. For the four step residual overcurrent function, k = 1.05.
2. Set t1 to 0 s
3.1.10.3 Calculating settings for step 2
1. Set Pickup2 to 140 % of IBase
To assure that step 2 detects all short circuits on the line a phase-phase-ground and
phase-ground short circuit is applied at point 1 (the adjacent busbar), see figure 24.
The source impedance at line end A should be maximized (minimum short circuit
power) at this calculation. The residual current works out as
3I
0AB,min
= 2.39 kA
If possible the delay of 3I
0
>> should be set equal to the distance protection zone 2
(normally 0.4 s). To assure selectivity with this time delay the function should not
overreach adjacent lines out from the remote busbar and out from the local busbar.
To assure selectivity to ground-fault current protections of the other lines going out
from the remote busbar the following calculations shall be made.
Z 1 = R 1 + jX 1
Z 0 = R 0 + jX0
