fault detection. As mentioned above, these two criteria supplement each


other so that small zero sequence current is often associated with large zero
sequence voltage at weak infeeds and the other way around at strong
infeeds. The AND setting is only for exceptional conditions when for example
the zero sequence voltage or current on their own are not a secure indicator
for earth faults.
In this example the default setting, OR, is maintained for the reasons stated
above.
1221 Loop selection with 2ph-E faults: If some fault resistance (arc voltage) is
present, then the measured fault loop impedances are affected by this
additional voltage drop in the short circuit loop. In the case of 2ph-E faults
this is most severe as the current in the fault resistance stems from 3
different short circuit loops. Theoretical analysis and simulations show the
following distribution of the measured loop impedances for a 2ph-E fault:

lagging Ph-E loop

nce

leading Ph-E loop

The influence of load (remote infeed and load angle) can increase or
decrease the rotation of the measured fault resistances. The leading phase to
earth loop will however always tend to produce an overreach. For this reason
the default setting of block leading ph-E loop will be used in this example.
If the application is on a double circuit line where simultaneous earth faults on
both lines can occur, the setting only phase-earth loops or all loops should be
used to avoid blocking of the internal fault loop by this setting. Of course
additional grading margin must be applied for Zone 1 in this case to avoid an
overreach during an external 2ph-E fault.
