a This factor depends on the design of the protection function and can be a
function of the primary DC time constant of the close-in fault current.
k This factor depends on the design of the protection function and can be a
function of the primary DC time constant of the fault current for a fault at the set
reach of zone 1.
The a- and k-factors have the following values for the different types of distance
function:
High speed distance: (ZMFPDIS and ZMFCPDIS)
Quadrilateral characteristic:
a = 1 for primary time constant Tp £ 400 ms
k = 3 for primary time constant Tp £ 200 ms
Mho characteristic:
a = 2 for primary time constant Tp £ 400 ms (For a = 1 the delay in operation
due to saturation is still under 1.5 cycles)
k = 3 for primary time constant Tp £ 200 ms
Quadrilateral distance: (ZMQPDIS, ZMQAPDIS and ZMCPDIS, ZMCAPDIS and
ZMMPDIS, ZMMAPDIS)
a = 1 for primary time constant Tp £ 100 ms
a = 3 for primary time constant Tp > 100 and £ 400 ms
k = 4 for primary time constant Tp £ 50 ms
k = 5 for primary time constant Tp > 50 and £ 150 ms
Mho distance: (ZMHPDIS)
a = 1 for primary time constant Tp £ 100 ms
a = 3 for primary time constant Tp > 100 and £ 400 ms
k = 4 for primary time constant Tp £ 40 ms
k = 5 for primary time constant Tp > 40 and £ 150 ms
