Relay Protection Current Direction Determination
Directional relays are not just overcurrent devices with extra logic. That single capability is decisive in parallel feeders, ring networks, and multi-infeed grids, where faults may be fed from. Selective short-circuit protection can be achieved in different ways, such as: Time-graded protection Time- and current-graded protection A straightforward way of obtaining selective protection is to use time grading. The principle is to grade the operating times of the relays in such a way that. When addressing the problem of calculating the settings for directional overcurrent elements, the focus is usually the determination of the pickup, time dial and operating characteristic, in order to ensure proper selectivity with adjacent protection elements, thus limiting the problem related to. nd general guidelines, which cannot provide a reliable measure of the suitability of such settings.

Sensitivity refers to the sensitivity of the entire relay protection system
A sensitive relay improves the reliability of the system. Based on simple examples of the generator-transformer unit protection from symmetrical short circuits, it was shown that the sensitivity factor is not a sufficiently objective measure of sensitivity of the. Selectivity is a mandatory requirement for all protection, but the importance of it depends on the application. For example, unselective protection operation during a medium voltage network fault will cause an outage for an unnecessarily large number of consumers. Necessity of speed in relaying. This happens either when the fault is in it's primary jurisdiction or when it is called upon to provide the back-up. Cross polarization: (protective relaying) The polarization of a relay for directionality using some proportion of the voltage from a healthy (unfaulted) phase(s).
