Distance Element Common Time Delay
Set the operation time delay of both the phase and ground-distance elements.
Zone 1
There is no need to delay Zone 1 distance protection; the relay trips instanta-
neously for faults in Zone 1.
Z1D =
0.000
.
Zone 1 Time Delay (OFF, 0.000–16000 cycles)
Zone 2
Zone 2 distance protection must coordinate with downstream Zone 1 distance
protection plus the downstream circuit breaker operating time and a safety mar-
gin. A typical Zone 2 phase and ground-distance time delay setting is 20 cycles.
Z2D :=
20.000
.
Zone 2 Time Delay (OFF, 0.000–16000 cycles)
Short Adjacent Lines
You do not need to consider the following fault current return path scenario for
this application example; this information is provided here for applications with
short adjacent lines.
illustrates an important consideration if you
apply time-delayed Zone 2 ground-distance protection to backup downstream
Zone 1 ground-distance protection.
Fault current flows through the sheath and ground with respect to the cable
because the sheath is grounded at each end during external ground faults. How-
ever, because you must make sure that Zone 2 ground-distance elements see all
ground faults at remote Station R, the k0 setting was for the ground path only.
Therefore, Zone 2 ground-distance protection may overreach for external ground
faults, especially for the case of a short adjacent line. The solution is to increase
Zone 2 time delay.
