Direction Determination of Directional Phase Elements
As already mentioned, the direction determination is performed by determining the phase angle between the
fault current and the reference voltage. In order to satisfy different network conditions and applications, the
reference voltage can be rotated by an adjustable angle. In this way, the vector of the rotated reference
voltage can be closely adjusted to the vector of the fault current in order to provide the best possible result for
the direction determination. Figure 2-29 clearly shows the relationship for the directional phase element
based on a single-phase ground fault in Phase A. The fault current Ι
scA
follows the fault voltage by fault angle
ϕ
sc
. The reference voltage, in this case V
BC
for the directional phase element A, is rotated by the setting value
1519 ROTATION ANGLE, positively counter-clockwise. In this case, a rotation by +45°.

The rotated reference voltage defines the forward and reverse area, see Figure 2-30. The forward area is a
range of ±86° around the rotated reference voltage V
