Voltage measuring for the directional detection: 3.1.1 Analog input circuits The protection unit receives the analog input signals of the phase currents IL1 (B3-B4), IL2 (B5-B6), IL3 B7-B8) and the current IE (B1-B2), phase voltages U1 (A3), U2 (A5), U3 (A7) with A2 as star point, each via separate input transformers.

Relay output contacts Contacts at MRI1: To prevent that the C.B. trip coil circuit is interrupted by the MRI1 first, i.e. before interruption by the C.B. auxiliary contact, a dwell time is fixed. This setting ensures that the MRI1 remains in self hold- ing for 200ms after the fault current is interrupted.

LEDs The LEDs left from the display are partially bi-colored, the green indicating measuring, and the red fault indi- cation. MRI1 with directional addition have a LED (green- and red arrow) for the directional display. At pickup/trip DISPLAY and parameter setting the green LED lights up to indi- cate the forward direction, the red LED indicates the reverse direction.

Determining earth short-circuit fault direction The SR-relay type is used in solidly-earthed or resis- tance-earthed systems for determining earth short-circuit fault direction. The measuring principle for determining the direction is based on phase angle measurement and therefore also on the coincidence-time measure- ment between earth current and zero sequence volt- age.
