Parallel line in service – setting of zone 2
GUID-98D11A72-C5BE-4C67-ADB5-95124C2AF987 v1
Overreaching zones (in general, zones 2 and 3) must overreach the protected circuit
in all cases. The greatest reduction of a reach occurs in cases when both parallel
circuits are in service with a single phase-to-earth fault located at the end of a
protected line. The equivalent zero sequence impedance circuit for this case is
equal to the one in figure
56 in section Parallel line in service.
The components of the zero sequence impedance for the overreaching zones must
be equal to at least:
EQUATION553 V1 EN-US (Equation 56)
EQUATION554 V1 EN-US (Equation 57)
Check the reduction of a reach for the overreaching zones due to the effect of the
zero sequence mutual coupling. The reach is reduced for a factor:

If the denominator in equation 58 is called B and Z0m is simplified to X0m, then

Apply the same measures as in the case with a single set of setting parameters. This
means that an underreaching zone must not overreach the end of a protected circuit
for the single phase-to-earth faults.
Set the values of the corresponding zone (zero-sequence resistance and reactance)
equal to:
