Overview
The “Phase preference logic (PPLPHIZ)” function is intended to be used in isolated or high impedance earthed networks where there is a requirement to operate on only one of the faulty lines during a cross-country fault. It can be used without preference to restrain operation for single earth faults with a delayed zero-sequence current release.
For more detailed information on “Phase preference logic (PPLPHIZ)” function, refer to ABB, Relion 670 Series manuals.
