Charging current compensation
When this distance protection function is applied to underground cables or long-distance
overhead lines, the effect of charging current is to be considered; it appears as a distance
measurement error to the fault. In order to suppress the effect and maintain the high-accuracy
distance-measurement capability, the charging current compensation function should be used.
Compensation is recommended if the minimum fault current is three times less than the
charging current.
The charging current compensation function has common scheme switches for both ZS
and ZG. The On setting is selected for the scheme switch [Z-IcC.EN] along with a setting value
for the setting [Z-IcC].
