a risk that the fault situation in one part of the feeding system can de-energize the
whole system connected to the LV-side.

DPH3xPDOC can be used for parallel operating transformer applications. In these
applications, there is a possibility that the fault current can also be fed from the LV-
side up to the HV-side. Therefore, the transformer is also equipped with directional
overcurrent protection.

Closed-ring network topology
The closed-ring network topology is used in applications where electricity
distribution for the consumers is secured during network fault situations. The power
is fed from at least two directions, which means that the current direction can be
varied. The time-grading between the network level stages is challenging without
unnecessary delays in the time settings. In this case, it is practical to use the directional
overcurrent IEDs to achieve a selective protection scheme. Directional overcurrent
functions can be used in closed-ring applications. The arrows define the operating
