DISTANCE
Four common settings are available for distance protection. The
DISTANCE SOURCE
identifies the signal source for all dis-
tance functions. The mho distance functions use a dynamic characteristic: the positive-sequence voltage – either memo-
rized or actual – is used as a polarizing signal. The memory voltage is also used by the built-in directional supervising
functions applied for both the mho and quad characteristics.
The
MEMORY DURATION
setting specifies the length of time a memorized positive-sequence voltage should be used in the
distance calculations. After this interval expires, the relay checks the magnitude of the actual positive-sequence voltage. If
it is higher than 10% of the nominal, the actual voltage is used, if lower – the memory voltage continues to be used.
The memory is established when the positive-sequence voltage stays above 80% of its nominal value for five power system
cycles. For this reason it is important to ensure that the nominal secondary voltage of the VT is entered correctly under the

MEMORY DURATION
long enough to ensure stability on close-in reverse three-phase faults. For this purpose, the maxi-
mum fault clearing time (breaker fail time) in the substation should be considered. On the other hand, the
MEMORY DURA-
TION
cannot be too long as the power system may experience power swing conditions rotating the voltage and current
phasors slowly while the memory voltage is static, as frozen at the beginning of the fault. Keeping the memory in effect for
too long may eventually lead to incorrect operation of the distance functions.
The distance zones can be forced to become self-polarized through the
FORCE SELF-POLAR
setting. Any user-selected con-
dition (FlexLogic™ operand) can be configured to force self-polarization. When the selected operand is asserted (logic 1),
the distance functions become self-polarized regardless of other memory voltage logic conditions. When the selected oper-
and is de-asserted (logic 0), the distance functions follow other conditions of the memory voltage logic as shown below.
The distance zones can be forced to become memory-polarized through the
FORCE MEM-POLAR
setting. Any user-selected
condition (any FlexLogic™ operand) can be configured to force memory polarization. When the selected operand is
asserted (logic 1), the distance functions become memory-polarized regardless of the positive-sequence voltage magni-
tude at this time. When the selected operand is de-asserted (logic 0), the distance functions follow other conditions of the
memory voltage logic.
