The possibility in IED to set resistive and reactive reach independent for positive and
zero sequence fault loops and individual fault resistance settings for phase-to-phase
and phase-to-ground fault together with load encroachment algorithm improves the
possibility to detect high resistive faults at the same time as the security is improved
(risk for unwanted trip due to load encroachment is eliminated), as shown in figure 63.

Parallel line application with mutual coupling
General
Introduction of parallel lines in the network is increasing due to difficulties to get
necessary area for new lines.
