Most multi circuit lines have two parallel operating circuits.
Parallel line applications
GUID-905ACED8-CD00-4651-90F1-96D1885BA856 v1
This type of networks is defined as those networks where the parallel transmission
lines terminate at common nodes at both ends.
The three most common operation modes are:
1. Parallel line in service.
2. Parallel line out of service and earthed.
3. Parallel line out of service and not earthed.
Parallel line in service
GUID-22E1A46C-92BD-4EE4-9A2D-9EFE2DB7B4D8 v3
This type of application is very common and applies to all normal sub-transmission
and transmission networks.
Let us analyze what happens when a fault occurs on the parallel line see figure 173 .
From symmetrical components, we can derive the impedance Z at the relay point
for normal lines without mutual coupling according to equation
294 .

Where:
Uph is phase to earth voltage at the relay point
Iph is phase current in the faulty phase
3I0 is earth fault current
