Earth-fault distance calculation in case of compensated (resonant earthed)
networks where an earth-fault current raising resistor is used
In case of compensated (resonant earthed) networks where an earth-fault current
raising resistor is used, the setting
The algorithm for calculation of earth-fault distance requires a measurable change
in the measured phase currents and phase-to-earth voltages during an earth fault.
Such a change can be accomplished by switching on the resistor of the PAW winding
(Power Auxiliary Winding) of the compensation coil during the fault.
The algorithm requires three independent time instances, which are assumed to be
known by the algorithm:
• t
• t
• t
The effect of loads is considered by applying "Load modelling" algorithm.
The required settings of the algorithm are:
• R1 = Positive-sequence resistance of the protected feeder [ohm, prim]
• X1 = Positive-sequence reactance of the protected feeder [ohm, prim]
• R0 = Zero-sequence resistance of the protected feeder [ohm, prim]
• X0 = Zero-sequence reactance of the protected feeder [ohm, prim]
• s = Equivalent load distance [pu]

network) phasors are continuously updated and stored at intervals of 300 ms until
the earth fault is indicated. When the earth fault is detected (internal detection), the
pre-fault phasor is stored at least 300 ms before the detection of the earth fault.
This time instance before the earth fault is noted as t
