To allow operation of the relay for this minimum earth fault the Bias Break Point must be set to 1.0 x I

below, Figure 7.5.2-5, shows the effect of settings applied for detecting earth faults on resistance earthed
systems. It also shows the fault point for the above example:
Where the relay is used on interconnected systems and the fault current is fed from both ends of the
feeder (double end fed) the phase comparator will generally operate.

Figure 7.5.2-6 to Figure 7.5.2-8 show typical values chosen for the P/F Differential, Bias Slope 1 and Bias Break
Point settings to allow an earth fault with some load biasing to be detected. Three typical relay settings used for
resistance earthed systems are shown graphically, to assist with selecting appropriate settings.
