ABB REC650 - Meshed Network with Parallel Line

The minimum primary setting (Is) for the instantaneous phase overcurrent protection 3-
phase output is then:

EQUATION79 V3 EN (Equation 24)
The protection function can be used for the specific application only if this setting value
is equal to or less than the maximum fault current that the IED has to clear, I
F
in figure 33.

6.1.3.2 Meshed network with parallel line
In case of parallel lines, the influence of the induced current from the parallel line to the
protected line has to be considered. One example is given in figure 34 where the two lines
are connected to the same busbars. In this case the influence of the induced fault current
from the faulty line (line 1) to the healthy line (line 2) is considered together with the two
through fault currents I
fA
and I
fB
mentioned previously. The maximal influence from the
parallel line for the IED in figure
34 will be with a fault at the C point with the C breaker
open.
