This malfunction is reported as „Fail U balance“.
If the 90% stator earth fault protection functions are active, a zero voltage results on voltage asymmetry. If this
causes protection pickup, monitoring is relegated to the background and issues no indication.

Phase Sequences of Current and Voltage
To detect any swapped phase connections in the voltage and current input circuits, the phase sequence of the
phase-to-phase measured voltages and the phase currents is checked by monitoring the sequence of same
polarity zero transitions of the voltages having the same sign.
Direction measurement with cross-polarized voltages, path selection for impedance protection, evaluation of
positive sequence voltages for undervoltage protection and unbalanced load detection all assume a clockwise
phase sequence. The current phase rotation is checked and reported individually for side 1 and side 2.
Phase rotation of measured voltages is checked by verifying the phase sequences of the voltages

and of the phase currents, in each case

For abnormal phase sequences (L1, L3, L2), the indications „Fail Ph. Seq. U“, (No. 176) or
„FailPh.Seq I S1“, (No. 265) are issued for side 1, or the indication „FailPh.Seq I S2“, (No. 266) for
side 2, as well as an OR combination of these indications „Fail Ph. Seq.“, (No. 171)
For applications where a counter-clockwise measured values phase sequence appears, this must be notified
to the device via the parameter 271 PHASE SEQ. or an accordingly allocated binary input. If the phase se-
quence is changed in the relay, phases L2 and L3 internal to the relay are reversed, and the positive and neg-
ative sequence currents are thereby exchanged (see also Section 2.47). The phase-related messages, mal-
function values, and measured values are not affected by this.
