For the determination of direction, a minimum current 3I

polarised with the transformer starpoint current and this exceeds a minimum value corresponding to the setting

voltage failure monitoring) or a single-pole dead time.
In order to allow directional determination also during a fault in the secondary circuit of the "normal" voltage
transformers, the broken delta winding U

as well. The calculated zero-sequence voltage is deemed to be disturbed if the VT miniature circuit breaker has
tripped (binary input no. 361 „>FAIL:Feeder VT"), or if the "fuse failure monitor" or the measuring voltage
monitoring have picked up.

Determination of direction for long lines
In case of forward faults on very long lines, the zero-sequence voltage required for determination of direction
may become very small. The reason for this is the high ratio between the zero-sequence impedance of the line
and the infeed (source).
In the case of reverse faults, however, the zero-sequence voltage cannot drop that low if at the same time the
zero-sequence current exceeds the set pickup level; refer also to Figure 2-117.
For this reason, the system may automatically indicate a "forwards" direction when the zero-sequence voltage
drops below the threshold value 3186 3U0< forward.
