6.12.2 Functionality
Negative sequence based overcurrent function DNSPTOC is typically used as
sensitive earth-fault protection of power lines, where incorrect zero sequence
polarization may result from mutual induction between two or more parallel lines.
Additionally, it is applied in applications on cables, where zero sequence impedance
depends on the fault current return paths, but the cable negative sequence impedance
is practically constant.
The directional function is current and voltage polarized. The function can be set to
forward, reverse or non-directional independently for each step. Both steps are
provided with a settable definite time delay.
DNSPTOC protects against all unbalanced faults including phase-to-phase faults. The
minimum start current of the function must be set to above the normal system
unbalance level in order to avoid unwanted operation.
