The device supports standard core-balanced directional control as well as Isin(f), Icos(f) and Wattmetric
characteristics.
If you are using directional SEF protection, you select the required polarisation using the SEF/REF Options setting
in the SEF/REF PROT'N column.

WATTMETRIC CHARACTERISTIC

Analysis has shown that a small angular difference exists between the spill current on healthy and faulted feeders
for earth faults on compensated networks. This angular difference gives rise to active components of current
which are in anti-phase to one another.

Consequently, the active components of zero sequence power will also lie in similar planes, meaning an IED
capable of detecting active power can make discriminatory decisions. If the Wattmetric component of zero
sequence power is detected in the forward direction, then this would indicate fault on that feeder. If power is
detected in the reverse direction, then the fault must be present on an adjacent feeder or at the source.
For operation of the directional earth fault element, all three of the settable thresholds must be exceeded; namely
the current ISEF>, the voltage ISEF>VNpol Set and the power PN> Setting.
The power setting is called PN> and is calculated using residual quantities. The formula for operation is as follows:
