Some observations from above equations for case 1, 2, and 3
In case 1, the lowest impedance is measured, that is, the highest reach occurs due to the
parallel connection of the zero-sequence systems of both lines.
In case 3, the highest impedance is measured, which corresponds to the shortest reach.
