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
ZA =ZAT + ·ZTF
IA + IC

and I
C
is fault current from A respective C station for fault between T and B.
U2/U1 Transformation ratio for transformation of impedance at U1 side of the transformer to
the measuring side U2 (it is assumed that current and voltage distance function is
taken from U2 side of the transformer).
Z
