The residual voltage is pre-processed by a discrete fourier filter. Thus, the phasor of the
fundamental frequency component of the residual voltage is derived.
This phasor is used together with the phasor of the operating directional current, in order to
determine the direction to the ground fault (Forward/Reverse). In order to enable voltage
polarizing the magnitude of polarizing voltage shall be bigger than a minimum level defined by
setting parameter
It shall be noted that residual voltage (-3V
determine the location of the ground fault. This insures the required inversion of the polarizing
voltage within the ground-fault function.
Current polarizing
When current polarizing is selected the function will use an external residual current (3I
polarizing quantity IPol. This current can be:
1. directly measured (when a dedicated CT input of the IED is connected in PCM600 to the
fourth analog input of the pre-processing block connected to EF4PTOC (51N/67N) function
input I3PPOL). This dedicated IED CT input is then typically connected to one single current
transformer located between power system WYE point and ground (current transformer
located in the WYE point of a WYE connected transformer winding).
•
2. calculated from three phase current input within the IED (when the fourth analog input into
the pre-processing block connected to EF4PTOC (51N/67N) function analog input I3PPOL is
NOT connected to a dedicated CT input of the IED in PCM600). In such case the pre-
processing block will calculate 3I
