Distance Relay: Types, Diagrams, and Working Principles
A distance relay is a protective device that measures line impedance to detect and isolate faults in high-voltage transmission systems with speed and precision.

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.
