Inside the relay, these signals are processed by the directional element, which determines whether the fault is in the forward or reverse direction, and the overcurrent element, which checks if the. Earth fault (e/f) protection: protection in which the residual variable (current and/or voltage) is monitored to detect phase-to-earth fault. A directional relay is a type of alarm or protective relay which operates upon detecting fault occurrence in the electrical power system and determining the direction of the fault.
