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:
I
s
= 1.3 × I

EQUATION285 V3 EN (Equation 188)
In case of parallel lines with zero sequence mutual coupling a fault on the parallel line,
as shown in Figure
179, should be calculated.

The IED setting value IN>> is given in percent of the primary base current value,
IBase. The value for IN>> is given by the formula:
