The operating and polarizing quantity are then used inside the directional element,
as shown in figure 100, to determine the direction of the fault.

Figure 100: Operating characteristic for fault directional element
Two relevant setting parameters for directional supervision element are:
• Directional element is internally enable to operate as soon as Iop is bigger than
40% of I>Dir and the directional condition is fulfilled in set direction.
• Relay characteristic angle AngleRCA which defines the position of forward
and reverse areas in the operating characteristic.
