If I

is the earth current measured in the starpoint of a power transformer and intended
for the earth fault protection direction determination (for earthed networks), then the
polarity check can only be carried out with a zero sequence current flowing through
the transformer. A test voltage source is required for this purpose (single-phase low
voltage source).
Caution!
Feeding of zero sequence currents via a transformer without broken delta winding.
Inadmissible heating of the transformer is possible!
Zero sequence current should only be routed via a transformer if it has a delta winding,
therefore e.g. Yd, Dy or Yy with a compensating winding.
