Impedance Values
The measured impedances perceived by the protection device are decisive for the settings. For the direction
to the machine (as viewed from the location of the voltage transformers), the power swing reactance of the
machine must be considered, which is approximately the transient reactance X
d
' of the machine. Consequently,
you will calculate the secondary transient reactance and use it for Z
b
≈ X
