Fault Locator
Setting Values
Reactance per unit length of the line per kilometer or per mile
Line length for the correct output of the fault distance as a percentage of the line length
The residual compensation factors in the setting format Kr and Kx or K0 and angle (K0)
Consideration of the load current for 1-pole ground
faults
Correction of the X value, for connection and discon-
nection
Fault Distance
Output of the fault distance (line length) In Ω primary and secondary
In km, miles or in percent.

Tolerances
Measuring tolerances during sinusoidal measurands
