Plane for DIFGL)
The DIFGL characteristic is identical to the DIFL characteristic for which is defined in
the small current region. The DIFGL characteristic is expressed using the following equations:
DIFGL-I
DIFGL-Slope
The user should set a minimum residual current for setting [DIFGL-I] for the occurrence
of a fault. The user should also set slope characteristic for setting [DIFGL-Slope].

Figure 2.3-2 provides another expression corresponding to the Figure 2.3-1 characteristic; the
user can notice that the characteristic is expressed on the plane between the outflowing current
(I
out
) axis and inflow current (I
in
) axis. The element of the DIFGL function operates for the
hatched area on the I
