2.3.2 ZONE 2, 3, AND 4 DISTANCE FUNCTIONS
The reach setting to be used on the Mho type distance functions will be established by the specific application.
It must not exceed the maximum allowable reach which is dependent on the following:
1. Shape of the characteristic – circle or lens,
2. Angle of maximum reach, and
3. Maximum amount of load flow transferred across the transmission line.
Figure 2–4: MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE REACH
The maximum allowable reach ( MR ) is based on the criteria shown above and is calculated as follows:
where = minimum load impedance (ohms)
B = Characteristic angle (degrees)
= 90
°
for a circle
> 90
°
for a lens
C
= angle of minimum load impedance (degrees)
D = angle of maximum reach (degrees)
Note that this is the maximum reach that can be safely made based on the given parameters. It is based on
maintaining a 40
°
margin between the angle B and the angle A shown in Figure 2–4: MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE
REACH. A circular Mho characteristic (
B
= 90
°
) should be used when possible. However, for larger load flows
(smaller load impedances) and for longer reaches, it may be necessary to resort to a lenticular characteristic (
B
> 90
°
) to remain within the allowable limit. Lenticular settings greater than 120
°
should never be used. Simi-
larly, the characteristic angle should never be set less than 90
°
except in the case of the Zone 4 functions when
they are applied as blocking functions in available schemes. In those applications, it is permissible to set the
characteristic angle for Zone 4 down to a minimum of 80
°
.
For each application, a desired reach should be determined and checked against the
MR
using a circular Mho
characteristic. If the desired reach is less than the
MR
, then the setting is acceptable. If the desired reach is
greater than the
MR
, then the angle
B
should be increased until
MR
equals, or just exceeds the desired reach.
