CHAPTER 5: SETTINGS
— Assertion of the operand assigned to this setting blocks operation of the neutral time overcurrent
NEUTRAL TOC1 BLOCK
element.
— This setting enables and disables the logging of neutral time overcurrent events in the sequence
NEUTRAL TOC1 EVENTS
of events recorder.

NEUTRAL IOC1
The neutral instantaneous overcurrent element can be used as an instantaneous function with no intentional delay or as a
definite time function. The element essentially responds to the magnitude of a neutral current fundamental frequency
phasor calculated from the phase currents. A positive-sequence restraint is applied for better performance. A small portion
(6.25%) of the positive-sequence current magnitude is subtracted from the zero-sequence current magnitude when
forming the operating quantity of the element as follows:
The positive-sequence restraint allows for more sensitive settings by counterbalancing spurious zero-sequence currents
resulting from:
•
System unbalances under heavy load conditions
•
Transformation errors of current transformers (CTs) during double-line and three-phase faults
•
Switch-off transients during double-line and three-phase faults
