7.6.7 Operation principle
7.6.7.1 Function inputs
SEMOD171963-4 v5
The function is using phasors of the residual current and voltage. Group signals I3P
and U3P containing phasors of residual current and voltage which are taken from
pre-processor blocks.
The sensitive directional earth fault protection has the following sub-functions
included:

φ is defined as the angle between the residual current 3I
0
and the reference voltage
(|φ=ang(3I
0
)-ang(U
ref
)|). The reference voltage (Uref) is the polarizing quantity
which is used for directionality and is defined as Uref = -3U

, that is
-3U
0
inversely rotated by the set characteristic angle RCADir. RCADir is normally
set equal to 0 in a high impedance earthed network with a neutral point resistor as
the active current component is appearing out on the faulted feeder only. RCADir is
set equal to -90° in an isolated network as all currents are mainly capacitive. The
function operates when 3I
0
·cos φ gets larger than the set value.
