The independent measurement of impedance for each fault loop together with a
sensitive and reliable built in phase selection makes the function suitable in
applications with single phase auto-reclosing.
Built-in adaptive load compensation algorithm prevents overreaching of zone1 at load
exporting end at phase to ground faults on heavily loaded power lines.
The distance protection zones can operate, independent of each other, in directional
(forward or reverse) or non-directional mode. This makes them suitable, together with
different communication schemes, for the protection of power lines and cables in
complex network configurations, such as parallel lines, multi-terminal lines.

Principle of operation

Full scheme measurement

The different fault loops within the IED are operating in parallel in the same principle
as a full scheme measurement.
Figure 131 presents an outline of the different measuring loops for the basic five,
impedance-measuring zones l.
