source does not exist behind busbar B. Accordingly, as for the fault on the line AB, the user
should have underreach setting in enough to the zone1
(S)

(iii) Setting for the primary zone (Zone1 and a short tapped line)
Suppose the busbar C is tapped at the junction J on the line AB, as shown in Figure 2.10-59.
It is required to have the reach setting in both the zone1(S) and the zone1(U) so as to hold a
part of the entire length of the line as shown in the long-dashed-short-dashed -circle line to
avoid unwanted operations for external faults at busbar C. Consequently, clearing faults by a
delayed zone2 are performed mostly, as shown in the broken-circle line that is operated at an
end of the line AB†.

†Note: To solve the problem, we recommend using the distance carrier command
protection or the current differential protection for the multi-terminals line shown
in the dotted-circle line.
