The discriminative criteria is presented below:
Where, Rset is the internal preset value.
The CT saturation is determined on a per phase basis. Ther
efore, the same calculation will be carried out for all 3
phases.
Example
In the example below, the current waveform based on 2-ends application. the current measured at local ends is
blue colour; the current measured at remote ends is red colour. This waveform is an evolving fault from external to
internal fault.

The example below shows the output of the calculation for Ipos and Ineg.
