Figure 192: Parallel line is out of service and not earthed
When the parallel line is out of service and not earthed, the zero sequence on that
line can only flow through the line admittance to the earth. The line admittance is
high which limits the zero-sequence current on the parallel line to very low values.
In practice, the equivalent zero-sequence impedance circuit for faults at the remote
bus bar can be simplified to the circuit shown in figure
192
The line zero sequence mutual impedance does not influence the measurement of
the distance protection in a faulty circuit. This means that the reach of the
underreaching distance protection zone is reduced if, due to operating conditions,
the equivalent zero sequence impedance is set according to the conditions when the
parallel system is out of operation and earthed at both ends.
