EQUATION1379 V3 EN-US (Equation 300)
Calculation for a 400 kV line, where we for simplicity have excluded the
resistance, gives with X1L=0.303 Ω/km, X0L=0.88 Ω/km, zone 1 reach is set to
90% of the line reactance p=71% that is, the protection is underreaching with
approximately 20%.
The zero sequence mutual coupling can reduce the reach of distance protection on
the protected circuit when the parallel line is in normal operation. The reduction of
the reach is most pronounced with no current infeed in the IED closest to the fault.
This reach reduction is normally less than 15%. But when the reach is reduced at
one line end, it is proportionally increased at the opposite line end. So this 15%
reach reduction does not significantly affect the operation of a permissive
underreaching scheme.
