Section 8
Impedance protection
208
The distance protection within the IED can compensate for the influence of a zero
sequence mutual coupling on the measurement at single phase-to-ground faults in the
following ways, by using:
• The possibility of different setting values that influence the ground-return
compensation for different distance zones within the same group of setting
parameters.
• Different groups of setting parameters for different operating conditions of a
protected multi circuit line.
Most multi circuit lines have two parallel operating circuits.
Parallel line applications
This type of networks is defined as those networks where the parallel transmission
lines terminate at common nodes at both ends.
The three most common operation modes are:
1. Parallel line in service.
2. Parallel line out of service and grounded.
3. Parallel line out of service and not grounded.
Parallel line in service
This type of application is very common and applies to all normal sub-transmission
and transmission networks.
Let us analyze what happens when a fault occurs on the parallel line see figure 84.
From symmetrical components, we can derive the impedance Z at the relay point for
normal lines without mutual coupling according to equation 38.
