To determine the Slope, the restraint current of both sides (400 kV and 230 kV) must be used. The rated
current is used as starting value for the gradient. Since side 2 (230 kV) is the reference side for the normaliza-
tion, the value of the 400 kV side must be adapted to this rated current. The adaptation factor results from the
inverse ratio (230 kV/400 kV). The following restraint current goes into the calculation:

Siemens recommends using the setting value 0.07.

Application with Resistance-Grounded Neutral Point
To also capture faults in the resistance to ground, a current transformer must be installed at the neutral point
of the protected object (see Figure 6-280). The pickup values can be derived from the data in the example. As
side rated value, the following results:
140 MVA/(√3 · 20 kV) = 4042 A
The following threshold value results as lower limit:
