2.5 Distance Protection
Independent Zones Z1 up to Z6
With the parameter MODE Forward or Reverse, each zone can be set (address 1701 Op. mode Z1, 1711
Op. mode Z2, 1721 Op. mode Z3, 1731 Op. mode Z4, 1741 Op. mode Z5 and 1761 Op. mode Z6).
This allows any combination of forward or reverse graded zones. Zones that are not required are set
Inactive.
The values derived from the grading coordination chart are set for each of the required zones. The setting pa-
rameters are grouped for each zone. For the first zone these are the parameters ZR(Z1) (address 1702) spec-
ifying the impedance of the upper zenith of the MHO characteristic from the origin (reach), as well as the rele-
vant delay time settings.
Different delay times can be set for single- and multiple-phase faults in the first zone: T1-1phase (Address
1605) and T1-multi-phase (address 1606). The first zone is normally set to operate without additional time
delay.
For the remaining zones the following correspondingly applies:
ZR(Z2) (address 1712)
ZR(Z3) (address 1722)
ZR(Z4) (address 1732)
ZR(Z5) (address 1742)
ZR(Z6) (address 1762)
For the second zone it is also possible to set separate delay times for single-phase and multi-phase faults. In
general the delay times are set the same. If stability problems are expected during multi-phase faults, a shorter
delay time could be considered for T2-multi-phase (address 1616) while tolerating a longer delay time for
single-phase faults with T2-1phase (address 1615).
The zone timers for the remaining zones are set with the parameters T3 DELAY (address 1625), T4 DELAY
(address 1635), T5 DELAY (address 1645), and T6 DELAY (address 1665).
If the device is provided with the capability to trip single-pole, single-pole tripping is then possible in the zones
Z1 and Z2. While single-pole tripping usually applies to single-phase faults in Z1 (if the remaining conditions
for single-pole tripping are satisfied), this may also be selected for the second zone with address 1617 Trip
1pole Z2. Single pole tripping in zone 2 is only possible if this address is set to Yes. The default setting is No.
Note
For instantaneous tripping (undelayed) in the forward direction, the first zone Z1 should always be used, as
only the Z1 and Z1B are guaranteed to trip with the shortest operating time of the device. The further zones
should be used sequentially for grading in the forward direction.
If instantaneous tripping (undelayed) is required in the reverse direction, the zone Z3 should be used for this
purpose, as only this zone ensures instantaneous pickup with the shortest device operating time for faults in
the reverse direction. This setting is also recommended in teleprotection BLOCKING schemes.
With the binary input indications No. 3619 „>BLOCK Z4 Ph-E", No. 3620 „>BLOCK Z5 Ph-E", and No. 3622
„>BLOCK Z6 Ph-E", the zones Z4, Z5, and Z6 for phase-to-earth loops may be blocked. To block these zones
permanently for phase-to-earth loops, these binary input indications must be set permanently to the logic value
of 1 via CFC.
