Where:
KNm = Z0m/(3 · Z1L)
The second part in the parentheses is the error introduced to the measurement of the
line impedance.
If the current on the parallel line has negative sign compared to the current on the
protected line that is, the current on the parallel line has an opposite direction
compared to the current on the protected line, the distance function overreaches. If the
currents have the same direction, the distance protection underreaches.
Maximum overreach occurs if the fault infeed from remote end is weak. If we consider
a single phase-to-ground fault at "p" unit of the line length from A to B on the parallel
line for the case when the fault infeed from remote end is zero, we can draw the
voltage V in the faulty phase at A side as in equation
107.

Simplification of equation 108, solving it for 3I0p and substitution of the result into
equation 107 gives that the voltage can be drawn as:
