EQUATION1379 V3 EN-US (Equation 41)
Calculation for a 400 kV line, where we for simplicity have excluded the resistance,
gives with X1L=0.48 Ohm/Mile
, X0L=1.4Ohms/Mile, zone 1 reach is set to 90% of
the line reactance p=71% that is, the protection is underreaching with approximately
20%.
The zero-sequence mutual coupling can reduce the reach of distance protection on the
protected circuit when the parallel line is in normal operation. The reduction of the
reach is most pronounced with no infeed in the line IED closest to the fault. This reach
reduction is normally less than 15%. But when the reach is reduced at one line end, it is
proportionally increased at the opposite line end. So this 15% reach reduction does not
significantly af
fect the operation of a permissive under-reach scheme.
