12.6.4 NEGATIVE SEQUENCE DIRECTIONAL
The negative sequence directional feature controls the operation of all negative sequence overcurrent ele-
ments and allows them to discriminate between forward or reverse faults. Refer to Section 12.2: DIREC-
TIONAL OVERCURRENT CHARACTERISTICS on page 12–6 for more details on directional principles. The
operating current and polarizing voltage is shown in the following table. If the polarizing voltage drops below
the ‘Minimum Operating Voltage’ setting the direction defaults to forward.
The setpoints for Negative Sequence Directional are as follows.

Enter the maximum torque angle by which the operating current leads the
polarizing voltage. This is the angle of maximum sensitivity.
MINIMUM POLARIZING
VOLTAGE: 0.05 x VT
Range: 0.00 to 1.25 in steps of 0.01 x VT
As the system negative sequence voltage is used as the polarizing voltage for
this element, a minimum level of voltage must be selected to prevent operation
caused by system unbalanced voltages or VT ratio errors. For well-balanced
systems and 1% accuracy VTs, this setpoint can be as low as 2% of VT nomi-
nal voltage. For systems with high-resistance grounding or floating neutrals,
this setpoint can be as high as 20%. The default value of
0.05 x VT
is appropri-
ate for most solidly grounded systems.
