What it represents

Applies directional overcurrent to calculated residual current in the cited Eaton application.

The drafting record should connect this function to the phase-current inputs and residual polarising reference, then trace the calculated residual directional element and earth-fault trip. Keep the complete designation and equipment tag together so that the SLD, relay logic and terminal schedule describe the same implementation.

The cited mapping is a public manufacturer example (Eaton EGR family). Suffixes are not universal equivalences across products, and this reference supplies neither a protection setting nor certification of the selected scheme.

How to read it

  • Identify the phase-current inputs and residual polarising reference.
  • Trace the calculated residual directional element and earth-fault trip.

Information to show or reference

  • Label the phase-current inputs and residual polarising reference.
  • Cross-reference the calculated residual directional element and earth-fault trip.
  • Retain the complete suffix, selected device tag and manufacturer manual revision.

A distinction that matters

R in this Eaton mapping denotes calculated residual current; its input differs from the separately measured X element.
