Step 4. As described above, the relay 32Q element operates based upon the magnitude and
angle of negative-sequence voltages and currents. You can calculate the magnitude
and angle of V
2
and I
2
, given the magnitude and angle of each of the phase quantities
using the equations below.

Determine the test angle of A-phase current from the Z1ANG relay setting. Equation
7.2 yields a positive result when I
2
lags V
2
by the angle of Z1ANG°. Equation 7.2
yields a negative result when I
2
leads V
2
by (180° - ∠Z1ANG°).
We are testing for positive values of Z2c, so I
2
should lag V
2
by Z1ANG.
Assuming that V
A
= 18.0 ∠180° volts, the angle of I
A
for this test should be 96°.
Determine the magnitude of A-phase current where Z2 equals Z2R or Z2F using
Equation 7.7:
