6.2.1  Introduction
The line distance protection is a, up to five zone full scheme protection with three fault
loops for phase-to-phase faults and three fault loops for phase-to-ground fault for each
of the independent zones. Individual settings for each zone resistive and reactive reach
give flexibility for use on overhead lines and cables of different types and lengths.
Quadrilateral characteristic is available.
ZMCPDIS (21) function has functionality for load encroachment which increases the
possibility to detect high resistive faults on heavily loaded lines.
