Relay protection setting of line impedance

Home / Relay protection setting of line impedance

The feature is useful where line impedance characteristics change between sections or where hybrid circuits are used. Direction: Forward Typically the zone 1 reach is required to be 80% - 90% of the line. They are used for direct tripping (Zone 1), in directional comparison pilot schemes, and in step distance protection schemes. Selective short-circuit protection can be achieved in different ways, such as: Time-graded protection Time- and current-graded protection A straightforward way of obtaining selective protection is to use time grading.

1. Distance Protection

The relay settings are in terms of impedance that is R and X Total Positive sequence impedance of protected line with reference to primary ZPL = [ZPL (Ohms /km)*Protected Line Length (km)] ZPL

Module 6 : Distance Protection

Hence, instantaneous primary protection zone (Z1) of distance relay is always set below 100% line impedance. Typically, zone 1 is set to cover 0.8 to 0.9 times the primary line length.

Relay Settings Calculations

To avoid relay mal-operation, set Slope 2 as high as possible. Normally, a high Slope 2 setting causes slow tripping for evolving faults (external-to-internal faults).

How Percentage Impedance Dictates Your Entire Protection Scheme

Let''s say you set your overcurrent relay to trip at 12× full‑load current. If your transformer has an impedance of 10%, will that setting work as intended? Let''s do the math.
