DISTANCE ELEMENTS CHAPTER 15: THEORY OF OPERATION
The limit angle of the comparator is not adjustable and equals 50°. The fault type
characteristic is intended to block ground distance elements during double-line-to-ground
faults.
Zero-sequence directional characteristic
The extra zero-sequence characteristic is achieved by checking the angle between the two
values for the elements shown in the table below. This characteristic applies to ground
distance zones 2 and 3 only.
Table 15-9: Zero-sequence directional characteristic angle calculation parameters
The limit angle of the comparator is not adjustable and equals 90°. The zero-sequence
directional characteristic improves directional integrity for time-delayed operations after
the memory expires.
Overcurrent supervision
The overcurrent supervision function responds to the following currents.
