Calculation of Ibias (t) point for checking the slope of operation for Phase faults:
slope=(ID/IB)x100 , IB=I1+I2 , ID=I1-I2
ID>2

(Ibias ()) K2

Page 4 of 8

Ibias () =

(ID>2)/K2

For testing connect I1 current reference at 0 degrees to one PU (Incomer) and I2 current reference at 180
degrees to another PU (Outgoing).
Now start the injection and vary I2 till the scheme operates.
Note both I1 & I2 values.
(I1 + I2) shall be the Bias Current and (I1 I2) shall be the Differential Current.
The slope shall be calculated by using the following formula:
k2 = (I diff current) / I bias current.

Tripping shall be observed in the coloured area as shown in the above figure.
