Concept of Sources
Sources is a concept used in the Universal Relay to:
Simplify the configuration and usage of multiple 3 I & V inputs (up to 24)
Group 3 I & V inputs into a source to be used by Metering and Protection
elements
Numerically sum 3 currents from different CTs on the power system
Perform Synch-Check by grouping appropriate VT inputs for comparison
