Mode of operation
When the function is "Disabled" or the operating current is below 5% × CT nominal, the element output is logic "0"
•
• When the function is "Enabled," the operating current is above 5% × CT nominal, and the polarizing voltage is above
the
PRODUCT SETUP  DISPLAY PROPERTIES  VOLTAGE CUT-OFF LEVEL
phase angle between the operating and polarizing signals:
– The element output is logic "0" when the operating current is within polarizing voltage ±90°
– For all other angles, the element output is logic "1"
• Once the voltage memory has expired, the phase overcurrent elements under directional control can be set to block or
trip on overcurrent as follows:
– When
BLOCK WHEN V MEM EXP
overcurrent element under directional control when voltage memory expires
– When
BLOCK WHEN V MEM EXP
under directional control when voltage memory expires
In all cases, directional blocking is permitted to resume when the polarizing voltage becomes greater than the polarizing
voltage threshold.
Settings
— This setting enables and disables the phase directional overcurrent protection element.
PHASE DIR 1 FUNCTION
— This setting is used to select the source for the operating and polarizing signals. The
PHASE DIR 1 SIGNAL SOURCE
operating current for the phase directional element is the phase current for the selected current source. The polarizing
voltage is the line voltage from the phase VTs, based on the 90° or quadrature connection and shifted in the leading
direction by the element characteristic angle (ECA).
— Assertion of the operand assigned to this setting blocks operation of the phase directional
PHASE DIR 1 BLOCK
overcurrent element.
— This setting specifies the element characteristic angle, that is, the angle by which the polarizing voltage
PHASE DIR 1 ECA
is shifted in the leading direction to achieve dependable operation. In the design of the UR-series elements, a block is
applied to an element by asserting logic 1 at the blocking input. Program the phase directional overcurrent element using
this setting so that the output is logic 1 for current in the non-tripping direction.

memory. When set to "Yes," the directional element blocks the operation of any phase overcurrent element under
directional control, when voltage memory expires. When set to "No," the directional element allows tripping of phase
overcurrent elements under directional control.
— This setting enables and disables the logging of phase directional overcurrent events in the
PHASE DIR 1 EVENTS
sequence of events recorder.
