Comment
PosSeq PosSeq Directional positive sequence overcurrent function is
obtained. Typical setting for
RCADir
is from -45° to -90°
depending on the power
NegSeq -NegSeq Directional negative sequence overcurrent function is
obtained. Typical setting for
RCADir
is from -45° to -90°
depending on the power system voltage level (X/R ratio)
3ZeroSeq -3ZeroSeq Directional zero sequence overcurrent function is
obtained. Typical setting for
RCADir
is from 0° to -90°
depending on the power system grounding (that is, solidly
grounding, grounding via resistor)
Phase1 Phase2-Phase3 Directional overcurrent function for the first phase is
obtained. Typical setting for
RCADir
is +30° or +45°
Phase2 Phase3-Phase1 Directional overcurrent function for the second phase is
obtained. Typical setting for
RCADir
is +30° or +45°
Phase3 Phase1-Phase2 Directional overcurrent function for the third phase is
obtained. Typical setting for
RCADir
is +30° or +45°
Unbalance current or voltage measurement shall not be used when the directional
feature is enabled.
Two types of directional measurement principles are available, I & V and IcosPhi&V.
The first principle, referred to as "I & V" in the parameter setting tool, checks that:
• the magnitude of the measured current is bigger than the set pick-up level
• the phasor of the measured current is within the operating region (defined by the
relay operate angle, ROADir parameter setting; see figure
288).
