Measuring principles
Fault loop equations use the complex values of voltage, current, and changes in the
current. Apparent impedances are calculated and compared with the set limits. The
calculation of the apparent impedances at ph-ph faults follows equation
for a phase A to phase B fault).

Here V and I represent the corresponding voltage and current phasors in the respective
phase.
The ground return compensation applies in a conventional manner to ph-g faults
(example for a phase A to ground fault) according to equation 15.
