Assignment to the
Polygons and
Zone Pick-up
The loop impedances calculated according to Sub-section 6.2.2 are assigned to the
set characteristics of each distance zone. To avoid unstable signals at the boundaries
of a polygon, the characteristics have a hysteresis of approximately 5 % i.e. as soon
as it has been determined that the fault impedance lies within a polygon, the bounda-
ries are increased by 5 % in all directions.
As soon as the fault impedance of any loop is definitely within the operating polygon
of a distance zone, the affected loop is designated as “picked up”. The loop informa-
tion is also converted to phase segregated alarms. Further conditions for pick-up of a
zone are that the direction corresponds to the set direction for the zone, and that the
zone is not blocked by the power swing blocking (refer to Sub-section 6.3.1). Further-
more, the distance protection must not be entirely switched off or blocked. In Figure 6-
29 these conditions are shown.
