Directional Features for Measured Ground Fault Elements 50N/51N
All ground fault elements can be selected as »n on-directional/forward/reverse« operated. This has to be done in
the » Device Planning« menu.
Important Definitions
Polarizing Quantity: This is the quantity that is used as a reference value. The polarizing quantity can be selected
by the parameter » IG meas dir ctrl« in the [Field Para/Direction] menu as follows:
»IG meas 3V0« : The neutral voltage selected by the parameter » 3V0 Source« will be used
as the polarizing quantity. The traditional way to polarize a ground fault element is to use
neutral voltage (3V0). The neutral voltage can, however, be either » measured« or
» calculated« . This can be selected by the parameter » 3V0 Source« in the
[Field Para/Direction] menu.
»I2,V2« : With this selection, the negative phase sequence voltage and current (Polarizing:
V2/Operating: I2) will be used to detect direction. The monitored current is still the
measured residual current IG meas.
»Dual« : For this method, the negative phase sequence voltage » V2« will be used as
polarizing quantity if » V2« and »I 2« are available, otherwise 3V0 will be used. The
operating quantity is either I2 if » V2« and »I 2« are available, else IG meas.
The following table gives the User a quick overview of all possible directional settings.
