Ph leakage Ris
and Ph capacitive React settings
The Ph leakage Ris and Ph capacitive React settings are used for improving fault
distance estimation accuracy for earth faults. They are critical for an accurate fault
location in unearthed networks. In other types of networks they are less critical.
The Ph leakage Ris setting represents the leakage losses of the protected feeder
in terms of resistance per phase. The Ph capacitive React setting represents the
total phase-to-earth capacitive reactance of the protected feeder per phase. Based
on experience, a proper estimate for Ph leakage Ris should be about 20…40 × Ph
capacitive React .
Figure 690: Equivalent diagram of the protected feeder. R L0F = Ph leakage Ris.
The determination of the
Ph capacitive React setting can be based either on
network data or measurement.
If the total phase-to-earth capacitance (including all branches) per phase C
0F
of the
protected feeder is known, the setting value can be calculated.
