Symbols  Explanation 
CTRL.  Abbreviation of “Control”: 
As used for the Control Inputs function. 
CTS  Current transformer supervision: 
To detect CT input failure. 
CU 
Abbreviation of “Central Unit” (P741) 
CZ  Abbreviation of “Check Zone”: 
Zone taking into account only the feeders. 
DDB  Digital data bus within the programmable scheme logic:

the relay’s operation. 
DEF  Directional earth fault protection: 
A directionalised ground fault aided scheme. 
Df/dt 
Rate of change of frequency protection (ROCOF). 
Dly 
Time delay. 
DHP 
Dual Homing Protocol 
DR 
Abbreviation of “Disturbance Record” 
DST  Daylight Saving Time 
DT  Abbreviation of “Definite Time”: 
An element which always responds with the same constant time delay on operation. 
DZ  Abbreviation of “Dead Zone”: 
Area between a CT and an open breaker or an open isolator. 
E/F  Earth fault: 
Directly equivalent to ground fault. 
FLC  Full load current: 
The nominal rated current for the circuit. 
Flt.  Abbreviation of “Fault”: 
Typically used to indicate faulted phase selection. 
FN 
Function. 
Fwd. 
Indicates an element responding to a flow in the “Forward” direction. 
F>  An overfrequency element: 
Could be labelled 81O in ANSI terminology. 
F<  An underfrequency element: 
Could be labelled 81U in ANSI terminology. 
GN>  Neutral over conductance protection element: 
Real component of admittance calculation from neutral current and residual voltage. 
Gnd.  Abbreviation of “Ground”: 
Used in distance settings to identify settings that relate to ground (earth) faults. 
GoENa  GOOSE Enable 
GOOSE  Generic Object Oriented Substation Event: 
In IEC 61850, a specific definition of a type of generic substation event, for peer-peer 
communication.
