6.11.2 RESIDUAL COMPENSATION FOR EARTH FAULT ELEMENTS
The residual compensation factor can be applied independently to certain zones if required. This is a useful feature
where line impedance characteristics change between sections or where hybrid circuits are used. In this example
this is not the case, so a common kZN factor can be applied to each zone. This is set as ratio kZN Res Comp, and
angle KZN Res Angle:
We know that
k

Now, performing the calculations iwht the given values ...

Thus ...

Therefore set:
kZN Res Comp = 0.79
KZN Res Angle = -6.5°
6.11.3 ZONE 1 PHASE AND GROUND REACH SETTINGS
For the protection at Green Valley:
The required Zone 1 reach is to be 80% of the line impedance between Green Valley and Blue River substations.
Using the Setting Mode
Simple
:
●
Set Zone 1 Ph Status and Zone 1 Gnd Stat. to
Enabled
●
Set Zone 1 Ph Reach and Zone 1 Gnd Reach to 80%
From this the protection algorithm automatically calculates the required Ohmic reaches.
Alternatively, using the Setting Mode
Advanced
, the values can be calculated and entered manually as follows:
Required Zone 1 reach = 0.8 x 100 x 0.484
Ð
79.4° x 0.12 = 4.64

So:
● Set Z1 Ph. Reach and Z1 Gnd. Reach = 4.64

●
Set Z1 Ph. Angle and Z1 Gnd. Angle = 80°
6.11.4 ZONE 2 PHASE AND GROUND REACH SETTINGS
For the protection at Green Valley:
In
Advanced
mode:
Required Zone 2 impedance = line impedance of Green Valley to Blue River + 50% line impedance
from Blue River to Rocky Bay
