If you have configured the zero sequence voltage controlled stage (address 
(DUWK )DXOW 2& = 8 LQYHUVH) the operating mode is initially set: address 
2S PRGH ,S. The stage can be set to operate )RUZDUG (usually towards line),
5HYHUVH (usually towards busbar) or 1RQ'LUHFWLRQDO (in both directions). If the
stage is not required, set its mode to ,QDFWLYH.
Address  ,S 3,&.83 indicates the minimum current value above which this
stage is required to operate. The value must be exceeded by the minimum earth fault
current value.
The voltage-controlled characteristic is based on the following formula:
U is the actual zero sequence voltage. U
0
(address ). Please take into consideration that the equation is based on the zero
sequence voltage U , not on 3U
0
Figure 2-73 shows the most important parameters. 8LQY PLQLPXP displaces the
voltage-controlled characteristic in direction of 3U
this characteristic (t → ∞). In Figure 2-73 a' shows an asymptote that belongs to the
characteristic a.
The minimum voltage 8! 8 LQY (address ) is the lower voltage threshold.
It corresponds to the line c in Figure 2-73. In characteristic b (asymptote not drawn)
the curve is cut by the minimum voltage 8! 8 LQY (line c).
An additional time  can be set for directional-controlled tripping at address 7
IRUZ 8LQY that is added to the voltage-controlled characteristic.
With the non-directional time 7 UHY 8LQY (address ) a non-directional
back-up stage can be generated.
