CHAPTER 5: SETTINGS
Five zones of phase distance protection with a minimum 150 ms time delay are provided as backup protection for
transformers or adjacent lines.
The phase mho distance function uses a dynamic 100% memory-polarized mho characteristic with additional reactance,
directional, and overcurrent supervising characteristics. When set to "Non-directional," the mho function becomes an
offset mho with the reverse reach controlled independently from the forward reach, and all the directional characteristics
removed.
The phase quadrilateral distance function has a reactance characteristic, right and left blinders, and 100% memory-
polarized directional and current supervising characteristics. When set to "Non-directional," the quadrilateral function
applies a reactance line in the reverse direction instead of the directional comparators.
Each phase distance zone is configured individually through its own setting menu. All of the settings can be independently
modified for each of the zones except:
• The setting (common for the distance elements of all zones as entered under

— All phase distance zones are reversible. The forward direction is defined by the
PHS DIST Z1 DIR
whereas the reverse direction is shifted 180° from that angle. The non-directional zone spans between the forward reach
