A directional overcurrent relay can improve selectivity in a system with multiple power sources or parallel paths. The directional feature incorporates directionality into an overcurrent relay to only operate for faults in a particular direction. A directional unit using Vbc as a reference phasor will pick up faults on the a-b and a-c phases. Directional earth fault relays use both voltage and current as polarizing quantities to determine direction.

Recap In this lecture we have learnt the following: A system with multiple sources or parallel paths requires directional relays. Directional feature can be incorporated in an overcurrent relay and it improves its selectivity. A directional unit with V bc as reference phasor will pick up on a - b and a - c phase faults. Directional earth fault relays using voltage and current as polarizing quantity.
