When entering the relay parameters with a personal computer and DIGSI
®
4 it can be
selected whether the settings are entered as primary or secondary values.
In the case of parameterization with secondary quantities, the values derived from the
grading coordination chart must be converted to the secondary side of the current and
voltage transformers. In general the following applies:
Accordingly, the reach for any distance zone can be specified as follows:
where
N
CT
— is the transformation ratio of the current transformers
N
VT
— is the transformation ratio of the voltage transformers

with the following data:
s (length) = 35 km

/s = 0.19 Ω/km

/s = 0.42 Ω/km

/s = 0.53 Ω/km

/s = 1.19 Ω/km
Current transformers 600 A/5 A
Voltage transformers110 kV/0,1 kV
The line data is calculated with these values as follows:
R
L
=0.19Ω/km · 35 km = 6.65 Ω
X
L
=0.42Ω/km · 35 km = 14.70 Ω
The first zone should be set to 85 % of the line length; the result is

Resistance Margin The resistance setting R allows a margin for fault resistance which appears as an
additional resistance at the fault location and is added to the impedance of the line
conductors. It comprises, for example, the resistance in arcs, the tower footing
resistance and others. The setting must allow for these fault resistance, but should at
the same time not be larger than necessary. On long heavily loaded lines, the setting
may extend into the load impedance range. Fault detection due to overload conditions
is then prevented with the load trapezoid. Refer to the margin heading “Load Area
(only for Impedance Pick-up)” in Subsubsection 6.2.3.2. The resistance margin setting
may be separately set for the phase–phase faults on the one hand and the phase–
earth faults on the other hand. It is therefore possible to allow for a larger fault
resistance for earth faults for example.
Most important for this setting on overhead lines, is the resistance of the fault arc. In
cables on the other hand, an appreciable arc is not possible. On very short cables,
