elements.

This means the 750/760 can be used

to provide sensitive tripping for faults in one
direction. Typical applications for directional
overcurrent include:

• Isolation of the faulted feeder in ring bus or

parallel feeder arrangements.
• Prevention of back-feeding utility source fault
from industrial plant generators
• Sensitive hi-speed ground protection of
transformers
Sensitive ground and Restricted Earth Fault (REF)
protection

Sensitive ground and RGF protection features

provide sensitive detection of ground faults.
Sensitive ground fault protection includes:

• Instantaneous (50N) & Tim (51N) - 2 levels

• Directional supervision allows to discriminate
between forward and reverse faults.
• Dual polarization (current & voltage) provides
max security and reliability

up protection (grounded wye windings and
autotransformers) using the RGF feature.

Voltage Protection
Overvoltage/Undervoltage protection features
can cause a trip or generate an alarm when the
voltage exceeds a specified voltage setting for
a specified time. Voltage protection includes a
negative sequence voltage element to detect
abnormal system unbalance conditions, and a
neutral displacement voltage element using the
calculated zero sequence voltage (3V0) to detect
ground faults.
