When mutual coupling is introduced, the voltage at the relay point A will be changed
according to equation

By dividing equation 118 by equation 117 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-ground 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 V
A
in the faulty phase at A side as in equation 120 .
