LOAD ENCROACHMENT MIN VOLT
— This setting specifies the minimum positive-sequence voltage required for operation of
the element. When the voltage is below this threshold, a blocking signal is not asserted by the element. When selecting
this setting, remember that the L60 measures the phase-to-ground sequence voltages regardless of the VT connection.
The nominal VT secondary voltage as specified with the

setting is the per-unit base for this setting.
LOAD ENCROACHMENT REACH
— This setting specifies the resistive reach of the element as shown in the Load
Encroachment Characteristic diagram. Enter this setting in secondary ohms and calculate it as the positive-sequence
resistance seen by the relay under maximum load conditions and unity power factor.
LOAD ENCROACHMENT ANGLE
— This setting specifies the size of the blocking region as shown on the Load Encroachment
Characteristic diagram and applies to the positive-sequence impedance.
