32V Reverse Directional Check
You set Z0MAG equal to Z
0L1
plus Z
0L2
so the fault locator provides correct
results for internal faults not located on the tap (that is, source T is extremely
weak and provides practically no infeed).
Figure 6.17 is the zero-sequence network for the 345 kV tapped overhead transmission
line.
If z0 is less than Z0F during a reverse unbalanced fault, 32V incorrectly declares
that the fault is forward with respect to the relay location (CT shown in
Figure 6.17). The relay automatically sets Z0F equal to one-half Z0MAG.
Equation 6.47 is the apparent zero-sequence impedance measured by 32V during
reverse unbalanced faults:
Equation 6.47
Equation 6.48
Use the following two assumptions to simplify the calculations:
1. Assume the power system is purely reactive
2. Ignore source impedances Z
0R
and Z
0T
(a conservative assumption)

= parallel combination of the Line 3 impedance, transformer
high-side reactance (neglect resistance), and the parallel com-
bination of the transformer low-side and Bus T impedance in
parallel with the transformer tertiary impedance, in parallel
with Line 2 and the Bus R impedance (see Figure 6.17).
