Each of the distance elements has a specific reach setting.
The ground distance elements include three zero-sequence
compensation factor settings (k01, k0R, and k0F) to cal-
culate ground fault impedance accurately. Setting k01
uses positive-sequence quantities to adjust zero-sequence
transmission line impedance for accurate measurement.
Settings k0F and k0R account for forward and reverse
zero-sequence mutual coupling between parallel trans-
mission lines.
Figure 9–Figure 12 show the performance times of the
high-speed and standard distance elements for a range of
faults, locations, and source impedance ratios (SIR).
