Parallel line in service
This type of application is very common and applies to all normal sub-transmission and
transmission networks.
Let us analyze what happens when a fault occurs on the parallel line see figure 114.
From symmetrical components, we can derive the impedance Z at the relay point for
normal lines without mutual coupling according to equation
112.
