Introduction of parallel lines in the network is increasing due to difficulties to get
necessary area for new lines.
Parallel lines introduce an error in the measurement due to the mutual coupling
between the parallel lines. The lines need not be of the same voltage in order to
experience mutual coupling, and some coupling exists even for lines that are separated
by 100 meters or more. The mutual coupling does influence the zero sequence
impedance to the fault point but it does not normally cause voltage inversion.
It can be shown from analytical calculations of line impedances that the mutual
impedances for positive and negative sequence are very small (< 1-2%) of the self
impedance and it is a practice to neglect them.
From an application point of view there exists three types of network configurations
(classes) that must be considered when making the settings for the protection function.
The different network configuration classes are:
