Figure 168: Admittance calculation during a forward fault
When the network is fully compensated in compensated networks,
theoretically during a forward fault, the imaginary part of the
measured admittance equals the susceptance of the protected feeder
with a negative sign. The discrimination between a forward and
reverse fault must therefore be based on the real part of the measured
admittance, that is, conductance. Thus, the best selectivity is achieved
