4.3.3.3 Functionality
The zero sequence overvoltage protection 59N is used in distribution networks where the
zero sequence overvoltage can reach non-acceptable levels in, for example, high
impedance grounding.
The function picks up when the zero sequence voltage exceeds the set limit. 59N operates
with the definite time (DT) characteristic.
The function contains a blocking functionality. It is possible to block function outputs, the
definite timer or the function itself, if desired.
