Figure 196: Step 1 fault calculation 1
This calculation gives the current fed to the protection: 3I
To assure that step 1, selectivity to other ground-fault protections in the network a
short delay is selected. Normally, a delay in the range 0.3 – 0.4 s is appropriate. To
assure selectivity to line faults, tripped after a delay (typically distance protection zone
2) of about 0.5 s the current setting must be set so high so that such faults does not
cause unwanted step 1 trip. Therefore, a fault calculation as shown in figure
