5 SETTINGS
The POTT1 pilot scheme operates the same way as the regular POTT scheme, except hard-coded connections to phase
and ground distance elements are removed to allow the user to choose directional elements, for example ground OC direc-
tional elements. This allows a user to apply the POTT1 scheme using solely directional elements to achieve better coordi-
nation, rather than mixing up distance and ground OC directional elements together.
The settings and application guidance for the POTT scheme applies to the POTT1 scheme. See the POTT section.

DIR FWD1..3: This setting defines the FlexLogic operand of a protection element used for keying the communication
channel and initiating operation of the scheme. Good directional integrity is the key requirement for an over-reaching
forward-looking protection element used as DIR FWD.
Even though any FlexLogic operand can be used as DIR FWD allowing the user to combine responses of various pro-
tection elements, or to apply extra security conditions through FlexLogic equations, this signal is primarily meant to be
the output operand from either the Negative-Sequence Directional IOC or Neutral Directional IOC. Both of these ele-
ments have separate forward (FWD) and reverse (REV) output operands. The forward indication is used (NEG SEQ
DIR OC1 FWD or NEUTRAL DIR OC1 FWD).
