5 SETTINGS
• GND DIST Z1 QUAD RGT BLD RCA: This setting defines the angular position of the right blinder of the quadrilateral
characteristic (see the Quadrilateral distance characteristic figure).
• GND DIST Z1 QUAD LFT BLD: This setting defines the left blinder position of the quadrilateral characteristic along the
resistive axis of the impedance plane (see the Quadrilateral distance characteristic figure). The angular position of the
blinder is adjustable with the use of the
lateral characteristic and should be set with consideration to the maximum load current.
• GND DIST Z1 QUAD LFT BLD RCA: This setting defines the angular position of the left blinder of the quadrilateral
characteristic (see the Quadrilateral distance characteristic figure).
• GND DIST Z1 SUPV: The ground distance elements are supervised by the magnitude of the neutral (3I_0) current.
The current supervision pickup should be set above the maximum unbalance current under maximum load conditions
preventing maloperation due to VT fuse failure.
• GND DIST Z1 VOLT LEVEL: This setting is relevant for applications on series-compensated lines, or in general, if
series capacitors are located between the relaying point and a point for which the zone shall not overreach. For plain
(non-compensated) lines, this setting shall be set to zero. Otherwise, the setting is entered in per unit of the VT bank
configured under the

the non-directional zone. See Chapter 8 and 9 for additional details and information on calculating this setting value for
applications on series compensated lines.
• GND DIST Z1 DELAY: This setting enables the user to delay operation of the distance elements and implement a
stepped distance backup protection. The distance element timer applies a short drop out delay to cope with faults
located close to the boundary of the zone when small oscillations in the voltages or currents could inadvertently reset
the timer.
• GND DIST Z1 BLK: This setting enables the user to select a FlexLogic™ operand to block the given distance element.
VT fuse fail detection is one of the applications for this setting.
