Figure 167: Admittance calculation during a forward fault
When the network is fully compensated in compensated networks,
theoretically during a forward fault, the imaginary part of the measured
admittance equals the susceptance of the protected feeder with a
negative sign. The discrimination between a forward and reverse fault
