3I0Enable_PG
This setting opens up an opportunity to enable phase-to-ground measurement for phase-
to-phase-ground faults. It determines the level of residual current (3I0) above which
phase-to-ground measurement is activated (and phase-to-phase measurement is blocked).
The relations are defined by equation
334.

By default, this setting is set excessively high to always enable phase-to-phase
measurement for phase-to-phase-ground faults. This default setting value must be
maintained unless there are very specific reasons to enable phase-to-ground
measurement. Even with the default setting value, phase-to-ground measurement is
activated whenever appropriate, like in the case of simultaneous faults: two ground faults
at the same time, one each on the two circuits of a double line.
One specific situation where the 3I0Enable_PG setting should be altered is for cross-
country faults in high impedance grounded networks, in order to make sure that operation
is phase-to-ground. This is particularly important when using phase preference logic,
since it is only working per phase, not for phase-to-phase measurement. The limit should
be set so that it will be exceeded during a cross-country fault.
