4.2.2.3 Functionality
The earth-fault function (F)DEFxPDEF is used as directional earth-fault protection
for feeders.
The function starts and operates when the operating quantity (current) and polarizing
quantity (voltage) exceed the set limits and the angle between them is inside the set
operating sector. The operate time characteristic for low stage (F)DEFLPDEF and
high stage DEFHPDEF can be selected to be either definite time (DT) or inverse
definite minimum time (IDMT).
In the DT mode, the function operates after a predefined operate time and resets when
the fault current disappears. The IDMT mode provides current-dependent timer
characteristics.
The function contains a blocking functionality. It is possible to block function outputs,
timers or the function itself, if desired.
4.2.2.4 Operation principle
The function can be enabled and disabled with the Operation setting. The
corresponding parameter values are "On" and "Off".
