Section 7
Current protection
As a consequence of the distribution of zero sequence current in the power system, the current to
the protection might be larger if one line out from the remote busbar is taken out of service, see
figure 68.

A higher value of step 1 might be necessary if a big power transformer (Y0/D) at remote bus bar is
disconnected.
A special case occurs at double circuit lines, with mutual zero-sequence impedance between the
parallel lines, see figure 69.
