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
min
EQUATION285 V3 EN-US (Equation 456)
In case of parallel lines with zero sequence mutual coupling a fault on the parallel
line, as shown in Figure
260, should be calculated.
