We are taking example of one of the directional overcurrent relay made by ABB for feeder protection, I quote some detail from its manual-instruction. I am quoting ABB overcurrent Directional Relay for phase and ground fault detection in transmission line. Type CR,CP,CRC and CRD type ABB relay are used to isolate faulty area when current in given direction in it is exceed from predetermined value (PMS), and CRQ type is used for tracinf of ground faults. The directional unit operates on negative sequence current and overcurrent operate on residual current in ground. pg. 127
