19.8 Setting restrictive reach of ground fault comparators
Required primary resistive coverage for ground faults = 40 ohms
40 ohms primary = 2.92 ohms secondary
Minimum load impedance likely to be seen by ground fault distance comparators

3 x 200
= 173 ohms primary
=12.6 ohms secondary
There will, therefore, be no problems of load encroachment on the ground fault
comparator operating regions, if the comparators are set to see 40 ohms primary
fault resistance.
Select nearest resistive reach setting above that required.
