PROTECTION CHAPTER 4: SETPOINTS
Figure 4-77: Negative Sequence Directional Characteristic
The forward-looking function is designed to be more secure compared to the reverse-
looking function, and should therefore be used for the tripping direction. The reverse-
looking function is designed to be faster compared to the forward-looking function and 
should be used for the blocking direction. This allows better protection coordination. The 
above bias should be taken into account when using the Negative Sequence Directional 
Overcurrent element to directionalize other protection elements.
