A safety margin of 5% for the maximum static inaccuracy and a safety margin of 5%
for maximum possible transient overreach have to be introduced. An additional 20% is
suggested due to inaccuracy of instrument transformers under transient conditions and
inaccuracy in the system data.
The minimum primary current setting (Is) is:

In case of parallel lines with zero sequence mutual coupling a fault on the parallel line,
as shown in Figure 66, should be calculated.
