maxIph is the maximal current magnitude found in any of the three phases
INRelPG
is the setting of 3I0 limit for release of phase-to-ground measuring loop in % of
IBase
IBase
is the global setting of the base current (A)
In systems where the source impedance for zero sequence is high the change of zero sequence
current may not be significant and the above detection may fail. In those cases the detection
enters the second level, with evaluation of zero and negative sequence voltage. The release of the
ground-fault loops can then be achieved if all of the following conditions are fulfilled:
