Zone 1 Close-up Fault Operation
An additional calculation must be performed for all cables and lines where the source impedance ratio (SIR) may
be less than SIR = 2.

Then, the highest of the two calculated knee points must be used.
Note:
It is not necessary to repeat the calculation for earth faults, as the phase reach calculation is the worst-case for CT
dimensioning.
