The fast distance protection function ZMFPDIS in the IED is designed to provide sub-
cycle, down to half-cycle operating time for basic faults. At the same time, it is
specifically designed for extra care during difficult conditions in high-voltage
transmission networks, like faults on long heavily loaded lines and faults generating
heavily distorted signals. These faults are handled with utmost security and
dependability
, although sometimes with a reduced operating speed.
8.2.2.1 System grounding
GUID-EB5B5594-AA81-4FC5-BBC0-7627A8609A23 v1
The type of system grounding plays an important role when designing the protection
system. Some hints with respect to distance protection are highlighted below.
Solidly grounded networks

In solidly grounded systems, the transformer neutrals are connected directly to ground
without any impedance between the transformer neutral and ground.

The ground-fault current is as high or even higher than the short-circuit current. The
series impedances determine the magnitude of the fault current. The shunt admittance
has very limited influence on the ground-fault current. The shunt admittance may,
however, have some marginal influence on the ground-fault current in networks with
long transmission lines.
The ground-fault current at single phase-to-ground in phase A can be calculated as
