Impact of series compensation on protective IED of adjacent lines

Voltage inversion is not characteristic for the buses and IED points closest to the series
compensated line only. It can spread also deeper into the network and this way
influences the selection of protection devices (mostly distance IEDs) on remote ends
of lines adjacent to the series compensated circuit, and sometimes even deeper in the
network.

Equation 114 indicates the fact that the infeed current I
of capacitive reactance in system: bigger the infeed of fault current, bigger the
apparent series capacitor in a complete series compensated network. It is possible to
say that equation 115 indicates the deepness of the network to which it will feel the
influence of series compensation through the effect of voltage inversion.
It is also obvious that the position of series capacitor on compensated line influences
in great extent the deepness of voltage inversion in adjacent system. Line impedance

phenomenon of voltage inversion to be expanded very deep into the adjacent network,
