Directionality Concepts for Overcurrent Relay Applications
ABB Inc. Abstract: Directional overcurrent protection IEEE device (67) refers to protection functions that utilize some angular relationship component of current or current and voltage to determine relay
Distribution Automation Handbook
The operating time of definite time relays does not depend on the magnitude of the fault cur-rent, while the operating time of inverse time relays is shorter the higher the fault current magnitude is. The time

Among the various possible methods used to achieve correct relay co-ordination are those using either time or overcurrent, or a combination of both.
DIRECTIONAL PROTECTION
But in modern networks with more than one power source, or in networks that have multiple lines for conveying electrical power the directional protection is essential in order to achieve selectivity.
