phase-to-phase faults, this corresponds to the per-phase, or positive-sequence,
impedance. For a phase-to-ground fault, it corresponds to the per-loop impedance,
including the ground return impedance.

Figure 225:
Load impedance limitation with load encroachment
During the initial current change for phase-to-phase and for phase-to-ground faults,
operation may be allowed also when the apparent impedance of the load encroachment
element is located in the load area. This improves the dependability for fault at the
remote end of the line during high load. Although it is not associated to any standard
event, there is one potentially hazardous situation that should be considered. Should
one phase of a parallel circuit open a single pole, even though there is no fault, and the
load current of that phase increase, there is actually no way of distinguish this from a
real fault with similar characteristics. Should this accidental event be given precaution,
the phase-to-ground reach (RFPG) of all instantaneous zones has to be set below the
emergency load for the pole-open situation. Again, this is only for the application
where there is a risk that one breaker pole would open without a preceding fault. If this
never happens, for example when there is no parallel circuit, there is no need to change
any phase-to-ground reach according to the pole-open scenario.

The ability for a specific loop and zone to issue start or trip is inhibited if the
magnitude of the input current for this loop falls below the threshold value defined by
these settings. The output of a phase-to-ground loop n is blocked if In <
IMinOpPGZRV
(Zx). In is the RMS value of the fundamental current in phase n.
