FAULT_DIR gives the detected direction of the fault during fault situations, that is,
when the START output is active.
4.4.2.7 Application
The ability of a protection relay to provide direction information for faults is
referred to as its directional security. It is extremely important for the directional
protection function to identify the direction of the fault relative to the location of
the protection relay. The fault direction can be either downstream (forward fault) or
upstream of the protection relay (backward fault).
Different directional elements are used to determine the fault direction. One such
element is the negative-sequence voltage. As directional element, the negative-
sequence voltage can identify the direction of all unbalance faults. One of the
advantages of using negative-sequence elements is that the negative-sequence
component is insensitive to zero-sequence mutual coupling. The negative sequence
is also used where the source is not strong enough because with such a source the
value of the negative sequence near the protection relay has higher magnitude.
