(i) Calculation Principle
Calculation on two-terminal application
Figure 2.32-1 shows two IEDs exist at the end of the line GH. Voltages due to the fault are
calculated by Equation (2.32-1) and Equation (2.32-2).

Substituting Equation (2.32-1) for Equation (2.32-2)
gives,
The distance ratio () is also calculated with the differential current (Id) because the net
currents at the IED G and the IED H are equal to the differential current (Id= I

Calculation on three-terminal application
The principle mentioned above is also applicable for the operation of three terminals, as shown
in Figure 2.32-2. Note that one of three calculations (Calc. 1 to 3) determines the fault location.
