Direction Determination via Ground Element using Ground Values
Figure 2-21 shows the treatment of the reference voltage for the directional ground element, also based on a
single-phase ground fault in phase A. The fault voltage serves as reference voltage. Depending on the connec-
tion of the voltage transformer, this is the voltage 3V
0
(as shown in Figure 2-21) or V
N
. The fault current -3I
0
is
phase offset by 180° to the fault current I
scA
and follows the fault voltage 3V
0
by fault angle ϕ
sc
. The reference
voltage is rotated by the setting value 1619 ROTATION ANGLE. In this case, a rotation by -45°.

If the vector of the fault
current -3I
0
(or I

) is in this area, the device detects forward direction.
