ROADir is Relay Operating Angle. ROADir is identifying a window around the
reference direction in order to detect directionality. Figure 106 shows the
restrictions made by the ROADir.

The function indicates forward/reverse direction to the fault. Reverse direction is
defined as 3I

·cos (φ + 180°) ≥ the set value.
It is also possible to tilt the characteristic to compensate for current transformer
angle error with a setting RCAComp as shown in the Figure 107:
