If the healthy phase currents are much less than the current of the faulty phase, then the neutral current is
approximately the same as the phase current, and the terms can be simplified as follows:

If the healthy phase currents are much less than the current of the faulty phase, and mutual current compensation
is not applied, then these terms can be simplified as follows:

So, as with the Directional Self-Polarized Mho characteristic for earth-faults, the Z
LP
plane representation of the
characteristic becomes static.
