The major disadvantage of blocking schemes is highlighted in Figure 51 (iii) where fault
current is outfeed from a terminal for an internal fault condition. relay 'C' sees a reverse fault
condition. This results in a blocking signal being sent to the two remote line ends, preventing
tripping until the normal zone 2 time delay has expired.

Blocking / unblocking logic

The zones unblocking/blocking logic with power swing are managed as explained in the
section 3.2.
3.5.1.1 Distance protection by zones and unblocking / blocking logic with power swing
The logic of the distance protection by zones (including power swing basic unblocking /
blocking logic) is shown in the following diagram:
