By dividing equation 237 by equation 236 and after some simplification we can
write the impedance present to the relay at A side as:

Where:
KNm = Z0m/(3 · Z1L)
The second part in the parentheses is the error introduced to the measurement of
the line impedance.
If the current on the parallel line has negative sign compared to the current on the
protected line, that is, the current on the parallel line has an opposite direction
compared to the current on the protected line, the distance function will overreach.
If the currents have the same direction, the distance protection will underreach.
Maximum overreach will occur if the fault current infeed from remote line end is
weak. If considering a single phase-to-earth fault at 'p' unit of the line length from
A to B on the parallel line for the case when the fault current infeed from remote
line end is zero, the voltage U

in the faulty phase at A side as in equation 239 .

Simplification of equation 240 , solving it for 3I0p and substitution of the result into
equation 239 gives that the voltage can be drawn as:
