Example

Usually the L1 phase-to-earth voltage connected to the first VT channel number of the
transformer input module (TRM) is selected as the phase reference. The first VT
channel number depends on the type of transformer input module.
For a TRM with 6 current and 6 voltage inputs the first VT channel is 7. The setting
PhaseAngleRef=7 shall be used if the phase reference voltage is connected to that
channel.

Setting of current channels

The direction of a current to the IED is depending on the connection of the CT. Unless
indicated otherwise, the main CTs are supposed to be star connected and can be
connected with the earthing point to the object or from the object. This information
must be set in the IED. The convention of the directionality is defined as follows: A
positive value of current, power, and so on means that the quantity has the direction
into the object and a negative value means direction out from the object. For
directional functions the direction into the object is defined as Forward and the
direction out from the object is defined as Reverse. See Figure
A positive value of current, power, and so on (forward) means that the quantity flows
towards the object. A negative value of current, power, and so on (reverse) means that
the quantity flows away from the object. See Figure 11.

Figure 11: Internal convention of the directionality in the IED
With correct setting of the primary CT direction, CTStarPoint set to FromObject or
ToObject, a positive quantities always flowing towards the protected object and a
direction defined as Forward always is looking towards the protected object. The
following examples show the principle.
