EQUATION1718 V1 EN (Equation 328)
Where:
V the minimum phase-to-phase voltage in kV
S 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, it is required to avoid load encroachment under three-
phase conditions. To guarantee correct healthy phase IED operation under
combined heavy three-phase load and ground faults both phase-to-phase
and phase-to-ground fault operating characteristics should be considered.
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 330)
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.
