In addition, when the setting
EF algorithm Cur Sel setting determines whether the used algorithm is based on
zero-sequence "Io based" or negative-sequence "I2 based" current. The difference
between "Io based" and "I2 based" methods is that "I2 based" does not require the
Ph capacitive React and Ph leakage Ris settings. In case of "Io based", these settings
are needed to compensate for the influence of the line-charging capacitances of the
protected feeder. This improves the accuracy of the fault location estimate when
fault resistance is involved in the fault.
With certain restrictions, the "Load modelling" algorithm can also be applied to
unearthed networks. In this case the

The prerequisite for the operation of SCEFRFLO in earth faults in unearthed
networks is that the earth-fault current of the network corresponding to a solid
fault exceeds the pre-fault load current; that is the
Flt to Lod Cur ratio
This ratio is estimated by SCEFRFLO and stored in the recorded data Flt to Lod Cur
ratio together with the fault distance estimate.
In case of an unearthed network, sufficient fault current magnitude resulting in Flt
to Lod Cur ratio >1 can be achieved, for example, with proper switching operations
in the background network, if possible, which increase the fault current. If the faulty
feeder is re-energized after the switching operation, a new estimate for the fault
distance can be obtained. Fault resistance decreases the fault location accuracy
so the resistance should not be higher than a few hundred ohms. Also, a low
value of Flt to Lod Cur ratio causes inaccuracy and affects the quality of the fault
distance estimate. The inaccuracies affecting the calculated fault distance estimate
are reported in the recorded result quality indicator value Flt Dist quality in
