Understand the difference.

Compare the meaning, drawing context and source references of two entries. A similar graphic or shared abbreviation does not establish equivalence.

Directional neutral-overcurrent

Supervises neutral or residual overcurrent with a documented directional criterion.

Drawing use
SLD / Schematic
Application
Metering & protection
Reference family
IEEE / ANSI / Manufacturer

A distinction that matters

67N requires both a current criterion and direction information; a neutral current magnitude alone does not provide direction.

Directional overcurrent

Directional overcurrent combines an overcurrent operating condition with a direction criterion defined by the device and application. Its full name and suffix can distinguish phase and earth-fault implementations, measurement inputs and operating stages.

A distinction that matters

A 67 reference is not the same as directional power 32. Their quantities and operating criteria differ.
