General fault criterion
The General fault criterion ( GFC) module monitors the presence of earth faults
in the network and it is based on the value of the fundamental frequency zero-
sequence voltage defined as the vector sum of fundamental frequency phase
voltage phasors divided by three.

MFADPSDE supports zero-sequence voltage monitoring based on measurement
(from open-delta winding) or calculated (derived from phase-to-earth voltages).
When the magnitude of
exceeds setting
Voltage start value
, an earth fault
is detected. The GFC module reports the exceeded value to the Fault direction
determination module and Operation logic. The reporting is referenced as General
Fault Criterion release.
The setting
Voltage start value
defines the basic sensitivity of MFADPSDE. To
avoid unselective start or operation,
Voltage start value
must always be set above
the maximum healthy-state zero-sequence voltage value, considering network
topology changes, compensation coil and parallel resistor switching status and
compensation degree variations. The setting
Voltage start value
can be easily
selected based on the resonance curve calculated by the coil controller in
corresponding network conditions (see
Figure 320
).
