The warning angle (StartAngle) should be chosen not to cross into normal operating
area. The maximum line power is assumed to be 2000 MVA. This corresponds to
apparent impedance:

Simplified, the example can be shown as a triangle, see figure 239.

In case of minor damped oscillations at normal operation we do not want the protection
to start. Therefore we set the start angle with large mar
gin.
Set StartAngle to 110°
