2.21 Fault Locator
If the parallel line compensation is used, set address 3805 Paral.Line Comp to YES (presetting for devices
with parallel line compensation). Further prerequisites are that
• the earth current of the parallel line has been connected to the fourth current input I
and
• the current transformer ratio I4/Iph CT (address 221) in the Power System Data 1 has been set correctly
(refer also to Section 2.1.2.1 under „Current Transformer Connection") and
• the parameter for the fourth current input I4 transformer has been set to In paral. line (address
220) in the Power System Data 1 (Section 2.1.2.1 under „Current Transformer Connection") and
• the mutual impedances RM/RL ParalLine and XM/XL ParalLine (addresses 1126 and 1127) have
been set correctly in the general protection data (Power System Data 2, Section 2.1.4.1).
If load compensation is applied to single-phase faults in double-fed lines of an earthed system, set YES in
address 3806 Load Compensat.. If high fault resistances are expected for single-phase faults, e.g. at over-
head lines without overhead earth wire or unfavourable earthing conditions of the towers, this will improve the
accuracy of the distance calculation.
If two-ended fault location is not desired set address 3807 two ended to OFF. The default setting is ON.
If the fault location is required to be output as BCD-code, set the maximum time period the data should be avail-
able at the outputs using address 3811 Tmax OUTPUT BCD. If a new fault occurs, the data are terminated
immediately even when it occurs before this time has expired. Allocate the corresponding output relays as
stored if a longer time period is desired for the output. Once a fault occurred the data will be latched until the
memory is reset or a new fault is registered.
