EQUATION1718 V1 EN-US (Equation 297)
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.
EQUATION1720 V1 EN-US (Equation 299)
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
300.
