superior phase selection it is set to block the E/F protection with every
Pickup.

3174 Block E/F for Distance Protection Pickup: As fast single pole tripping is only
done with Zone 1 and Zone 1B with the distance protection, the earth fault
protection is only blocked when the distance protection picks up in zone
Z1/Z1B.

3103 Block E/F for 1pole Dead time: During 1 pole dead times, load current can
flow via the zero sequence path. To prevent incorrect operation of the earth
fault protection as a result of this it should be blocked. Therefore set YES.

3104A Stabilisation Slope with Iphase: When large currents flow during faults
without ground, CT errors (saturation) will cause current flow via the residual
path. The earth fault protection having a very sensitive pick-up threshold for
high resistance faults could pick-up due to this CT error current. To prevent
this, a stabilising characteristic is provided to increase the threshold when the
phase currents are large. The characteristic is shown below in Figure 49. The
default setting of 10% is suitable for most applications.

3105 3I0-Min threshold for Teleprot. schemes: For directional comparison
protection, in particular for the weak infeed echo function, a teleprotection
send or echo block condition must be more sensitive than the teleprotection
trip condition. This threshold determines the minimum earth current for
teleprotection send and is set to 80% of the most sensitive teleprotection trip
stage, set
