Figure 168: Parallel line is out of service and not earthed
When the parallel line is out of service and not earthed, the zero sequence on that line can only
flow through the line admittance to the earth. The line admittance is high which limits the
zero-sequence current on the parallel line to very low values. In practice, the equivalent zero-
sequence impedance circuit for faults at the remote bus bar can be simplified to the circuit
shown in figure
The line zero sequence mutual impedance does not influence the measurement of the distance
protection in a faulty circuit. This means that the reach of the underreaching distance
protection zone is reduced if, due to operating conditions, the equivalent zero sequence
impedance is set according to the conditions when the parallel system is out of operation and
earthed at both ends.
