6.2.2 Calculation of the Impedances
6.2.2.1 Method of Operation
A separate measuring system is provided for each of the six possible impedance loops
L1–E, L2–E, L3–E, L1–L2, L2–L3, L3–L1. The phase-earth loops are evaluated when
an earth fault detection according to section 6.2.1 is recognized and the phase current
exceeds a settable minimum value 0LQLPXP,SK! (address ). The phase-
phase loops are evaluated when the phase current in both of the affected phases ex-
ceeds the minimum value 0LQLPXP,SK!.
A jump detector synchronizes all the calculations with the fault inception. If a further
fault occurs during the evaluation, the new measured values are immediately used for
the calculation. The fault evaluation is therefore always done with the measured val-
ues of the current fault condition.
Phase–Phase
Loops
To calculate the phase-phase loop, for instance during a two-phase short circuit L1–
L2 (Figure 6-19), the loop equation is:
where
U
, I are the (complex) measured values and
Z
= R+ jX is the (complex) line impedance.
The line impedance is computed to be

The calculation of the phase-phase loop does not take place as long as one of the con-
cerned phases is switched off (during single-pole dead time), to avoid an incorrect
measurement with the undefined measured values existing during this state. A state
