Angular
Dependence
If a distinction between short circuit and load conditions is not always possible using
the U/I characteristic which is independent of the phase angle, the angular dependent
section d-e can additionally be used. This is required for long lines and section of lines
with intermediate infeed in combination with small source source impedances. Then
the local measured voltage will only drop to a small extent in the event of a short circuit
at the line end or in the back-up range of the distance protection so that the phase an-
gle between current and voltage is required as an additional criterion for fault detec-
tion.
The parameters
Iϕ> (address 1616)andUphe(Iϕ>) (address 1617)orUph-
ph(Iϕ>)
(address 1618) determine the characteristic in the range of large angles ϕ
K
,
i.e. in the short-circuit angle range. The threshold angles themselves, which define the
short-circuit angle range
ϕ
K
, are set in the addresses 1620 ϕ> and 1621 ϕ<.The
short-circuit angle range

K
isbetweenthesetwoangles.Heretoo,therequiredvolt-
age settings according to the “Pickup Mode” (see above) are relevant.
The characteristic for the load angle range has to be set in a way that is just below the
minimum expected operating voltage at the maximum expected load current. In the
range of the short circuit angle
ϕ
K
it must be ensured that load current may not cause
pick-up in this area. If reactive power has to be tranferred via this line it must be en-
sured that the maximum reactive current at minimum operating voltage is not within
the pick-up range, i.e. the short-circuit angle range
ϕ
K
. If in doubt, pick-up conditions
shouldbecheckedinaccordancewiththeU/I/
ϕ characteristic. An arithmetic short-cir-
cuit calculation is recommended for extensive networks.
The lower threshold angle should be between the load angle and the short-circuit an-
gle. Therefore, it must be set smaller than the line angle

) (approx.
10°to20°).Further,youshouldcheckthattheangleisnotexceededduringloadcon-
ditions. If this is the case, for instance because the reactive power has to be trans-
ferred via this line, it must be ensured that the parameters of the voltage-dependent
segmentd,thatis
Iphi> and Uph-e (Iphi>) or Uph-ph (Iphi>) rule out a pick-
up as the result of reactive power (see above).
The upper threshold angle
ϕ< (address 1621) is not critical. 100° to 120° should be
sufficient.

The indicated secondary current values and values of impedance for setting
ranges and default settings refer to I

= 1 A. For the nominal current 5 A the current
values are to be multiplied by 5. The values of impedance are divided by 5.
