If dynamic tilting is selected, then:
If I
LEAD
is I2 the lines are dynamically tilted up from the fixed angle (Forward sense)
● If I
LEAD
is Iph, the fixed tilt applies.
● If I
LAG
is I2, the lines are dynamically tilted down from the fixed angle (Forward sense)
● If I
LAG
is Iph, the fixed tilt applies.
If fixed tilting is selected, then he current input quantity for S2 is Iph in all cases.
The positive sequence reach settings used for the Earth-Fault Quadrilateral characteristics are summarised in the

QUADRILATERAL CHARACTERISTIC FOR PHASE FAULTS
Quadrilateral characteristics are available for phase fault protection. A mix of Directional Forward, Directional
Reverse, and Offset characteristics is available. Zone 1 and Zone 2 are Directional Forward. Zone 4 is Directional
