9 THEORY OF OPERATION
For two-terminal applications, the following equalities hold for the above equation.
For two-terminal applications, the distance is reported from the local relay. In three-terminal applications, the distance is
reported from the terminal of a given line segment.
Phase rotation must be the same at all line terminals for correct operation of the multi-ended fault locator.
NOTE
b) EXAMPLE
Consider a three-terminal, 500 kV application with no charging current compensation or zero-sequence removal. The
phase rotation is ABC and the following CT and VT data is known.
