— Ground directional overcurrent - 67N (Evolving faults)
Preface
The maximum directional ground current protection function 67N for detecting evolving arcs detects
the type of intermittent fault originating in sequence on different feeders.
Detection is done logically controlling the start statuses generated by protection function 67N, by
starting a specific 59N threshold, or by receiving the Goose IEC61850 for the state of start by residual
overvoltage of the protection.
The logic of threshold IED>>>>> is shown in the following figure:
