If both conditions are true and there is sector match, the fault is deemed as single phase-
to-ground. If the sectors, however, do not match the fault is determined to be the
complement of the second condition, that is, a phase-to-phase-to- ground fault.

The sequence phase selector is blocked when ground is not involved or if a three-phase
fault is detected.
Three-phase fault detection
Unless it has been categorized as a single or two-phase fault, the function classifies it
as a three-phase fault if the following conditions are fulfilled:
