Figure 33: Negative Sequence Overcurrent logic - non-directional operation
For Negativ
e Phase Sequence Overcurrent Protection, the energising quanitity I2> is compared with the threshold
voltage I2>1 Current Set. If the value exceeds this setting a Start signal (I2>1 Start) is generated, provided there
are no blocks.
The function can be blocked if a CTS or second harmonic condition is detected.
The I2>1 Start signal is fed into a timer to produce the I2>1 trip signal. The timer can be blocked by the timer block
signal I2>1 Tmr Blk.
This diagram and description applies to each stage.
6.3 DIRECTIONAL ELEMENT
Where negative phase sequence current may flow in either direction, directional control should be used.
Dir
ectionality is achieved by comparing the angle between the negative phase sequence voltage and the negative
phase sequence current. A directional element is available for all of the negative sequence overcurrent stages.
This is found in the I2> Direction cell for the relevant stage. It can be set to non-directional, directional forward, or
directional reverse.
A suitable characteristic angle setting (I2> Char Angle) is chosen to provide optimum performance. This setting
should be set equal to the phase angle of the negative sequence current with respect to the inverted negative
sequence voltage (–V2), in order to be at the centre of the directional characteristic.
