This reach reduction is normally less than 15%. But when the reach is reduced at
one line end, it is proportionally increased at the opposite line end. So this 15%
reach reduction does not significantly affect the operation of a permissive
underreaching scheme.

Figure 190: The parallel line is out of service and earthed
When the parallel line is out of service and earthed at both line ends on the bus bar
side of the line CTs so that zero sequence current can flow on the parallel line, the
equivalent zero sequence circuit of the parallel lines will be according to figure
191 .

The influence on the distance measurement will be a considerable overreach, which
must be considered when calculating the settings. It is recommended to use a
separate setting group for this operation condition since it will reduce the reach
considerably when the line is in operation.
All expressions below are proposed for practical use. They assume the value of
