Direct grounded system

In direct grounded systems, an ground fault on one phase is indicated by voltage
collapse in that phase. The other healthy phase will still have normal phase-to-ground
voltage. The residual sum will have the same value as the remaining phase-to-ground
voltage, which is shown in Figure 296.

VBase (given in GlobalBaseSel) is used as voltage reference for the set pickup values.
The voltage can be fed to the IED in different ways:
1. The IED is fed from a normal voltage transformer group where the residual
voltage is calculated internally from the phase-to-ground voltages within the
protection. The setting of the analogue input is given as VBase=Vph-ph.
2. The IED is fed from a broken delta connection normal voltage transformer group.
In an open delta connection the protection is fed by the voltage 3V0 (single input).
Section Analog inputs in the Application manual explains how the analog input
needs to be set.
3. The IED is fed from a single voltage transformer connected to the neutral point of
a power transformer in the power system. In this connection the protection is fed
by the voltage VN=V
manual explains how the analog input needs to be set.
