Angle between Ia2 and Ia0

Fault type permission

Ia2 is ± 30° of Ia0

Permit AG or BC

Ia2 lags Ia0 by 90° − 150°

Permit BG or CA

Ia2 leads Ia0 by 90° − 150°

Permit CG or AB

Ia2 leads or lags Ia0 by 30° − 60°

Select the ptp mho element with the lowest calculated reach. Compare |Rag| with the |Rf| of that element

Ia2 lags Ia0 by 60° − 90° or 150° − 180°

Select the ptp mho element with the lowest calculated reach. Compare |Rbg| with the |Rf| of that element

Ia2 leads Ia0 by 60° − 90° or 150° − 180°

Select the ptp mho element with the lowest calculated reach. Compare |Rcg| with the |Rf| of that element

  1. ptp is phase-to-phase, Rag, Rbg, Rcg are A, B, C phase-to-ground fault resistances respectively, and Rf is the fault resistance
