4.6 I2/I1> – Unbalanced Load [46]
The protection function »I2/I1>« is similar to the Phase Overcurrent protection. The main
di󰊞erence is that the Phase Overcurrent protection monitors the three phase currents,
whereas the »I2/I1>« module monitors the negative-sequence current I2 (in comparison
with the positive-sequence current I1).

For general information about the concept of WIC1 protection functions, see ╚═▷
“4.1 »Prot« – General Protection Module”.
NOTICE!
High inrush currents can lead to a transient saturation of the phase CTs. When this
happens during a transformer inrush the determination of (positive and negative)
sequence currents yields incorrect results.
