In case of two-phase-to-ground faults (A-B-E, B-C-E or C-A-E), the selected fault loop
depends on the location of the individual ground faults. When the faults are located at the
same feeder, the corresponding phase-to-phase loop (either “AB Fault” or “BC Fault” or
“CA Fault”) is used for calculation. When the faults are located at different feeders, the
phase-to-ground loop (either “AG Fault” or “BG Fault” or “CG Fault”) corresponding to
the faulty phase at the protected feeder is used for calculation.
5.7.4.2
Fault impedance and distance calculation
As soon as a fault condition is recognized by the phase selection logic, the fault distance
calculation is started with one of the seven impedance-measuring elements, that is, the
fault loops. 21FL employs independent algorithms for each fault type to achieve optimal
performance.
The inherent result from the fault distance calculation is the ohmic fault loop impedance
value.

Description
Flt phase reactance
Estimated positive sequence reactance from the substation to the fault location
in primary ohms.
Flt point resistance
Fault resistance value in the fault spot in primary ohms. The composition of this
term depends on the fault loop as described in the following subsections.
Flt loop resistance
The total fault loop resistance from the substation to the fault location in primary
ohms. Fault point resistance is included in this value. The composition of this
term is different for short-circuit and ground-fault loops as described in the
following subsections.
Flt loop reactance
The total fault loop reactance from the substation to the fault location in primary
ohms. The composition of this term is different for short-circuit and ground-faults
loops as described in the following subsections.
