Generic Earth Directional Relay Io Dir, Io Dir (IOC, UMZ) Relay
Relay
It’s a generic relay model providing two directional controlled earth short circuit protection functions
(67N, IOC).
The directional measurement work like the ‘watt metric’ method. It calculates
a) Method: P,cos(phi) P0 = Real Part ( 3U0’ * 3I0*) , active power
b) Method: Q,sin(phi) Q0 = Imaginary Part ( 3U0’ * 3I0*), reactive power
With:
3U 0 ' 3U 0
Further the directional relay detects a forward or reverse fault only if the measured earth current 3I0
multiplied with the cos(phi) or sin(phi) is greater as operating current setting ( see ‘Voltage Polarizing)
page ) and the active power ( P0 ) or reactive power (Q0) is greater than zero.

The directional unit is sending a forward and a reverse signal to the over current units ‘Io>dir’ and
‘Io>>dir’. For each over current unit it is possible to setup the direction option:
a) None : for non-directional tripping
b) Forward: for forward directional tripping
c) Reverse: for reverse directional tripping
The nominal current and nominal voltage can be setup in the ‘Measure’ slot (1A or 5A e.g. 100,110 or
120V ). All current settings are defined in p.u. ( x In ). The delay can be set in the corresponding units
(I>dir,I>>dir) in seconds.
The relay model needs a single phase ( phase 1 = ‘N’ ) current transformer and a open delta voltage
transformer ( secondary winding = ‘O’, for open delta ) to measure the ground current 3I0 and the
ground voltage 3U0.
Model Dir-Iog-Iogg (ph-comp)
The directional measurement detects the direction with the help of a phase comperator.
It calculates the angle between the zero-sequence voltage (3U0) and the zero-sequence current (3I0)

The magnitude of the calculated angle phi is compared with the “Angle operation sector”:
Forward phi SectorAngl e -> forward fault
For checking the reverse fault is the zero-sequence current rotated by 180 deg.
Additionally checks the unit if the voltage is higher as the voltage set point and the current is higher as
the current set point.
With the option “I,cos(phi) = “always enabled” checks the unit if I*cos(phi) > current setpoint
