1.2.1.2 Sensitive earth fault element
The sensitive earth fault element is included for high impedance earthed systems and has
bias current control to guarantee stability under external faults or when there are significant
errors in the measurement CTs. The element is usually disabled for effectively earthed
systems with low impedance or solid earthing.
