ABB REL650 - Tapped Line Application

Ensure that the underreaching zones from both line ends will overlap a sufficient amount
(at least 10%) in the middle of the protected circuit.

This application gives rise to similar problem that was highlighted in section "Fault infeed
from remote end" , that is increased measured impedance due to fault current infeed. For
example, for faults between the T point and B station the measured impedance at A and C
will be
