Protection Functions
90 PRS-7367
On a healthy three-phase power system, the addition of each of the three-phase to earth voltages
is nominally zero. However, when an earth fault occurs on the primary system, the balance is
upset and a residual voltage is produced. Hence, a zero sequence overvoltage protection can be
used to offer earth fault protection on such a system.

3.13.2 59G Protection Principle
The residual overvoltage protection function can be enabled or disabled by setting the
corresponding 59G_Ena parameter values as "1" or "0".
The residual voltage sample method is determined by 59G_U0_Calc, if 59G_U0_Calc =0, the
voltage is sample from external terminal, if 59G_U0_Calc = 1, the voltage is calculated by three
phases voltage.
The operation of residual overvoltage protection can be described by using a module diagram. All
