7.2.3.2 Solidly earthed systems
GUID-ED1D9B07-3EAF-436C-A6EA-044455DC168E v1
Example in Figure 43 illustrates how the distance protection ZRWPDIS protects a
1
10kV overhead transmission line. The earthing considered is solidly earthed
system.
Out of the six distance protection zones, only the zone 1, zone 2 and zone 3 are
considered in this example. Zones 4, 5 and 6 can be set on similar lines depending
on the application they are being used.
All the settings for impedance are in Ohms Primary.

Common base IED values for primary current (IBase) and primary voltage (UBase)
are set in a Global base values for settings function GBASVAL.
GlobalBaseSel: It is used to select a GBASV
AL function for reference of base
values.
IBase: Sets the base current in primary ampere. This is 50MVA/110kV = 454.54A.
