5 SETTINGS
• DIR POWER 1 RCA: Specifies the relay characteristic angle (RCA) for the sensitive directional power function. Appli-
cation of this setting is threefold:
1. It allows the element to respond to active or reactive power in any direction (active overpower/underpower, etc.).
2. Together with a precise calibration angle, it allows compensation for any CT and VT angular errors to permit more
sensitive settings.
3. It allows for required direction in situations when the voltage signal is taken from behind a delta-wye connected
power transformer and the phase angle compensation is required.
For example, the active overpower characteristic is achieved by setting

• DIR POWER 1 CALIBRATION: This setting allows the relay characteristic angle to change in steps of 0.05°. This may
be useful when a small difference in VT and CT angular errors is to be compensated to permit more sensitive settings.
This setting virtually enables calibration of the directional power function in terms of the angular error of applied VTs
and CTs. The element responds to the sum of the
• DIR POWER 1 STG1 SMIN: This setting specifies the minimum power as defined along the relay characteristic angle
(RCA) for the stage 1 of the element. The positive values imply a shift towards the operate region along the RCA line;
the negative values imply a shift towards the restrain region along the RCA line. Refer to the Directional power sample
applications figure for details. Together with the RCA, this setting enables a wide range of operating characteristics.
This setting applies to three-phase power and is entered in per-unit (pu) values. The base quantity is 3 x VT pu base x
CT pu base.
For example, a setting of 2% for a 200 MW machine is 0.02 × 200 MW = 4 MW. If 13.8kV is line voltage and 10 kA is a
primary CT current, the source pu quantity is 239 MVA, and thus, SMIN should be set at 4 MW / 239 MVA = 0.0167 pu
≈ 0.017 pu. If the reverse power application is considered, RCA = 180° and SMIN = 0.017 pu.
The element drops out if the magnitude of the positive-sequence current becomes virtually zero, that is, it drops below
the cutoff level.
• DIR POWER 1 STG1 DELAY: This setting specifies a time delay for stage 1. For reverse power or low forward power
applications for a synchronous machine, stage 1 is typically applied for alarming and stage 2 for tripping.
If the VTs are located on the high-voltage (HV) side of the transformer, then the source should be configured using
CTs that are also on the HV side. Correspondingly, if the VTs are located on the low-voltage (LV) side of the trans-
former, then the source should be configured using CTs that are also on the LV side. In both cases, the CT polarity

should produce a positive power measurement when the machine is generating.
