Figure 185: Step 1 fault calculation 1
This calculation gives the current fed to the protection: 3I
0fault1
.
To assure that step 1, selectivity to other ground-fault protections in the network a short
delay is selected. Normally, a delay in the range 0.3 – 0.4 s is appropriate. To assure
selectivity to line faults, tripped after a delay (typically distance protection zone 2) of
about 0.5 s the current setting must be set so high so that such faults does not cause
unwanted step 1 trip. Therefore, a fault calculation as shown in Figure
186 is made.
