the other end. Everything that is placed between these two CT groups (including
CBs) are included in the protected zone.
To apply the exact (voltage-based) method of charging current compensation, the
power line's positive and zero-sequence capacitances must be known. If not known,
the approximate method can be applied instead.
Table

A two-end power line with one three-phase CT group installed at each
end.
Setting NoOfUsedCTs is used to indicate to L4CPDIF how many
current input channels (2, 3 or 4) with current samples are to be read
and processed.
