Other protection functions may overlap with these functions during testing, it may be useful to disable some
functions to avoid ambiguity. Derived EF, Sensitive EF & Restricted EF protections can be Enabled/Disabled
individually or as groups in the ‘Function Config’ menu.
Sensitive EF elements can be separated from Derived EF by secondary injection of current through the I
4
input
circuit only.
If any of these elements are defined as directional the correct voltage phase direction will be required to produce
an operation of those elements.
The 67SEF elements will normally operate on the residual current through the I
4
input but can be set to operate
on only the real (wattmetric) component of this current by setting 67SEF Ires Select to Ires Real. If this option is
selected, the residual current and voltage should be set in anti-phase during testing to so that the applied current
is purely real and can be measured directly.
If 67SEF Wattmetric is set to Enabled, the residual real power must also exceed the 67SEF Wattmetric Power
setting to permit SEF operation
2.9.1 Directional Polarity
See section Directional Earth Fault Polarity Check above for testing details.
If 67SEF Wattmetric is set to Enabled, the residual real power must also exceed the 67SEF Wattmetric Power
setting to permit SEF operation. As the directional boundary is approached, the Wattmetric current, will by
