The limit angle of the comparator is adjustable. This allows the user to shape the
characteristic as a mho or a lens as shown in the following figure. The memory-polarized
mho characteristic has excellent built-in directional integrity. See the Memory Polarization
section later for details.
Figure 550: Mho and lens characteristics
Non-directional mho characteristic
The non-directional mho characteristic is achieved by checking the angle between the two
values for the various phase and ground distance elements shown in the table.
Table 15-1: Non-directional mho characteristic angle calculation parameters
Mho reactance characteristic for directional applications
The mho reactance characteristic is achieved by checking the angle between the two
values for the various phase and ground distance elements shown in the table.
