can be chosen very low. As it is required to detect ground faults in the transformer
winding, close to the neutral point, values down to the minimum setting possibilities
can be chosen. However, one must consider zero-sequence currents that can occur
during normal operation of the power system. Such currents can be due to un-
transposed lines.
In case to protection of transformer windings not feeding residual current at external
ground faults a fast lowcurrent step can be acceptable.
