The residual current out on the line is calculated at a fault on the remote busbar (one-
or two-phase-to-ground fault). To assure selectivity it is required that step 1 shall not
give a trip at this fault. The requirement can be formulated according to Equation
39 .

As a consequence of the distribution of zero sequence current in the power system, the
current to the protection might be larger if one line out from the remote busbar is taken
out of service, see Figure
72 .

A higher value of step 1 might be necessary if a big power transformer (Y0/D) at
remote bus bar is disconnected.
A special case occurs at double circuit lines, with mutual zero-sequence impedance
between the parallel lines, see Figure
73 .
