impedance stays between the blinders for a predetermined time, the function declares a
power swing condition and asserts an output that can be used to block the distance
protection. However, if the impedance passes the inner blinder and exits on the other side
of the mho characteristics (that is, the resistive component of impedance has opposite sign
as at the time of point of entry) an out of step tripping is issued by the

Figure 344: Example of out of step detection
The shaded region indicates a fault zone in a distance protection function. For curve A, the
impedance moves into the out of step zone and leaves slowly, indicating the occurrence of
a swing that quickly stabilizes. For curve B, the impedance moves slowly into the out of
step zone and exits the zone indicating that the network is becoming unstable. For curve
C, impedance rapidly moves into, and remains in, the fault zone indicating an actual fault
and not an out of step condition.
