case the fault location is also calculated if for example a different protection device
cleared the fault. For a fault outside the protected line, the fault location information is
not always correct, as the measured values can be distorted by e.g. intermediate in-
feeds.
To calculate the distance to fault in kilometres or miles, the device requires the reac-
tance per unit length data in
Ω/km or Ω/mile. For correct indication of the fault location
in % of line length, the correct line length should also be entered. These setting pa-
rameters were already applied with the plant data (Section 6.1.3 under “General Line
Data”).
A prerequisite for the correct indication of the fault location furthermore is that the other
parameters that influence the calculation of the distance to fault have also been set
correctly. These are the addresses (refer also to Sub-section 6.1.3)
1116 RE/RL(Z1),
1117 XE/XL(Z1)
or
1120 K0(Z1),
1121 PHI(K0(Z1)).
If the parallel line compensation is used, the address
3805 must be set to
Paral.Line Comp = Yes; the presetting is No. Further prerequisites are that
• the earth current of the parallel line has been connected to the fourth current input
I
4
with the correct polarity and
• the parameter for the fourth current input I4 transformer has been set to In
paral. line
(address 220)inthe“powersystemdata1”(referalsotoSub-sec-
tion 6.1.1 under “Current Transformer Connection”) and
• the current transformer ratio I4/Iph CT (address 221) in the “power system data
1” has been set correctly (refer also to Sub-section 6.1.1 under “Current Trans-
former Connection”) and
• the mutual impedances RM/RL ParalLine and XM/XL ParalLine (addresses
1126 and 1127) have been set correctly in the general protection data (“power sys-
tem data 2”, refer to Sub-section 6.1.3).
If load compensation is applied to single-phase faults in double-fed lines of an earthed
system, set
Yes in address 3806 Load Compensat.. In case high fault resistances
are expected for single-phase faults, e.g. at overhead lines without overhead earth
wire or unfavourable footing of the towers, this will improve the accuracy of the dis-
tance calculation.
If the fault location is requiredto be output as BCD-code, set the maximum time period
the data should be available at the outputs using address
3811 Tmax OUTPUT BCD.
If a new fault occurs, the data are terminated immediately. Allocate the corresponding
output relays as “stored” if a longer time period is desired for the output. Once a fault
occurred the data will be latched until the memory is reset or a new fault is registered.
