short-circuits will result in the fast cancellation of the power swing block in the affected
phases, thereby allowing the tripping of the Distance Protection.
To detect a power swing, the rate of change of the impedance vector is measured. The
measurement is started when the impedance vector enters the power swing measur-
ingrangePPOL(refertoFigure6-40).ThefaultdetectionrangeAPOLismadeupof
the largest set values for R and X of all the activated zones. The power swing zone
has a minimum distance Z
diff
of 5 Ω (at I
N
=1A)or1Ω (at I
N
= 5 A) in all directions
fromthefaultdetectionzone.Intheeventofashort-circuit(1),theimpedancevector
abruptly changes from the load condition into this fault detection range. However, in
the event of a power swing, the apparent impedance vector initially enters the power
swing range PPOL and only later enters the fault detection range APOL (2). It is also
possible that a power swing vector will enter the area of the power swing range and
leave it again without coming into contact with the fault detection range (3). If the vec-
tor enters the power swing polygon and passes through it leaving on the opposite side,
then the sections of the network seen from the relay location have lost synchronism
(4): The power transfer is unstable.

If an impedance vectors, moving on a continuous curve, enters the power swing
measuring range PPOL, a power swing condition is assumed. If on the other hand an
impedance vector changes abruptly, this can only result from a load jump or short cir-
cuit.
