Protection Functions
Quadrilateral Phase-Distance Elements
A network is homogeneous with respect to the particular fault location if
is satisfied:
Equation 5.29
If
sequence nonhomogeneity:
Equation 5.30
The value of T represents how much the apparent fault impedance (ZF) measured
by the relay tilts up or down (electrical degrees) because of the nonhomogeneity
of the corresponding network for a fault at location m (see
Calculate T for a phase-to-phase fault at the remote bus (i.e.,
m
equals one per
unit). The remote bus is selected for the fault location to prevent Zone 1 phase-
distance element overreach.
Each quadrilateral phase-distance element is supervised by the corresponding
Relay Word bit ENX2AB, ENX2BC, or ENX2CA during unbalanced fault con-
ditions (32QE = 1). This supervisory condition secures the reactance element in
the quadrilateral phase-distance element against unusual unbalanced load condi-
tions where currents (but not voltages) are unbalanced.
A supervisory condition is applied to force the right-resistive blinders to be self-
polarized under the previous unusual unbalanced loads. The adaptability of the
positive-sequence polarized resistive blinder is enabled during balanced operat-
ing conditions (32QE = 0). This adaptability is also enabled during unbalanced
fault conditions (32QE = 1) when the corresponding Relay Word bit CNR1AB,
CNR1BC, or CNR1CA is asserted. The adaptability of the negative-sequence
polarized resistive blinder is enabled during unbalanced fault conditions
(32QE = 1) when the corresponding Relay Word bit CNR2AB, CNR2BC, or
CNR2CA is asserted. When the adaptability of any of the right resistive blinders
is disabled, the corresponding blinder uses self polarization.
