Unbalance Mode
Unbalance mode provides unbalanced current protection. Two methods are available to calculate
unbalanced current. The first method is based on the negative-sequence current divided by the positive-
sequence current while the second method is based on the average current. The calculation method must
be specified on the System Parameters, Sensing Transformers screen in BESTCOMSPlus. Refer to the
Configuration chapter for more information.
CT Source
The CT Source setting configures an inverse overcurrent element to monitor CT circuit 1 or CT circuit 2
on protection systems equipped with two sets of CTs. CT circuit 1 terminals are designated D1 (IA1)
through D8 (IG1) and CT circuit 2 terminals are designated F1 (IA2) through F8 (IG2). For an illustration,
refer to the Terminals and Connectors chapter.
Direction
An inverse overcurrent element can be configured for forward or reverse tripping. Refer to the Directional
Overcurrent (67) Protection chapter for more information.
Directional Source
The Directional Source setting selects the directional element (67-1 or 67-2) to be used when making
directional decisions on protection systems equipped with two sets of CTs. The CT source of the
directional source selection (67-1 or 67-2) should match the CT source selection of the inverse
overcurrent (51) element.
Timings
Each inverse overcurrent element has a Curve setting. The following paragraphs describe the available
timing curves. The user can select integrating reset timing to make the protective element use integrated
reset and emulate an electromechanical induction disk reset characteristic.
Standard Curves
There are 22 standard curves available including standard inverse, short inverse, moderately inverse,
long inverse, very inverse, and extremely inverse. Refer to the Time Curve Characteristics chapter for
specific information on each curve.
Programmable Curves
An available programmable curve can be used to create a custom curve by selecting coefficients in the
inverse time characteristic equation. When inverse time overcurrent characteristic curve P is selected, the
coefficients used in the equation are those defined by the user. Inverse overcurrent characteristics for trip
and reset programmable curves are defined by Equation 14 and Equation 15. These equations comply
with IEEE Std C37.112-1996 - IEEE Standard Inverse-Time Characteristic Equations for Overcurrent
Relays. Definitions for these equations are provided in Table 37. The curve-specific coefficients are

defined for the standard curves as listed in the Time Curve Characteristics chapter.
