EQUATION1718 V1 EN (Equation 265)
Where:
V is the minimum phase-to-phase voltage in kV
S is the maximum apparent power in MVA.
The load impedance [Ω/phase] is a function of the minimum operation voltage and the
maximum load current:

are related to the same operating
conditions. Minimum load impedance occurs normally under emergency conditions.
As a safety margin is required to avoid load encroachment under three-
phase conditions and to guarantee correct healthy phase IED operation
under combined heavy three-phase load and ground faults, consider both:
phase-to-phase and phase-to-ground fault operating characteristics.
To avoid load encroachment for the phase-to-ground measuring elements, the set resistive
reach of any distance protection zone must be less than 80% of the minimum load
impedance.

(Equation 267)
This equation is applicable only when the loop characteristic angle for the single phase-to-
ground faults is more than three times as large as the maximum expected load-impedance
angle. For the case when the loop characteristic angle is less than three times the load-
impedance angle, more accurate calculations are necessary according to equation
146.
