AngleRCA : Relay characteristic angle given in degree. This angle is defined as shown in Figure 58.
The angle is defined positive when the residual current lags the reference voltage (Vpol = 3V

In a normal transmission network a normal value of RCA is about 65°. The setting range is -180° to
+180°.

Normally voltage polarizing from the internally calculated residual sum or an external open delta is
used.
Current polarization is useful when the local source is strong and a high sensitivity is required. In
such cases the polarizing voltage (3V
