OPERATION PRINCIPLE
1 Operation principle
The distance protection function provides main protection for overhead lines and cables of solidly
grounded networks. Its main features are as follows:
• A full-scheme system provides continuous measurement of impedance separately in

three independent phase-to-phase measuring loops as well as in three independent
phase-to-earth measuring loops.
• The complex earth fault compensation factor is applied for correct impedance measuring
on single-phase-to-earth fault.
• Analogue input processing is applied to the zero sequence current of the parallel line.
• Impedance calculation is conditional of the values of phase currents being sufficient. The
current is considered to be sufficient for impedance calculation if it is above the level set
by parameter(s).
• To decide the presence or absence of the zero sequence current, biased characteristics
are applied.
• Full-scheme faulty phase identification by minimum impedance detection.
• Five independent distance protection zones are configured.
• The operating decision is based on polygon-shaped characteristics.
• Load encroachment characteristics can be selected,

• The directional decision is dynamically based on:
o measured loop voltages if they are sufficient for decision,
o healthy phase voltages if they are available for asymmetrical faults,
o voltages stored in the memory if they are available,
• The operation of any zones is non-directional if it is optionally selected.
• The distance protection function can operate properly if CVT is applied as well.
• Non-directional impedance protection function or high speed OC protection function is
applied in case of switch-onto-fault.
• Distance-to-fault evaluation is implemented (fault locator function).
• Binary input signals and conditions can influence the operation:
o blocking/enabling
o VT failure signal
• Integrated high-speed overcurrent back-up function is also implemented.
• The power swing detection function can block the distance protection function in case of
stable swings, or it can generate a trip command if the system operates out of step.

The outputs are

The software modules of the distance protection function are as follows:
Z_CALC calculates the impedances (R+jX) of the six measuring current loops:
• three phase-phase loops,
• three phase-ground loops.
POLY compares the calculated impedances with the setting values of the five polygon
characteristics. The result is the decision for all six measuring loops and for all five polygons if the
impedance is within the polygon.
SELECT is the phase selection algorithm for all five zones to decide which decision is caused by
a faulty loop and to exclude the false decisions in healthy loops.
www.protecta.hu
OPERATION PRINCIPLE
I_COND calculates the current conditions necessary for the impedance calculation and for the
phase selection logic.
PSD is the module that detects power swings and generates out-of-step trip command,
influencing the distance protection function.
FAULT LOCATOR calculates the distance to fault after the trip command.
HSOC SOTF is a high-speed overcurrent protection function for the switch-onto-fault logic.
The following description explains the details of the individual components.

OPERATION PRINCIPLE
1.2 The impedance calculation (Z_CALC)

1.2.1 Principle of operation
The distance protection continuously measures the impedances in the six possible fault loops.
The calculation is performed in the phase-to-phase loops based on the line-to-line voltages and
the difference of the affected phase currents, while in the phase-to-earth loops the phase voltage
is divided by the phase current compounded with the zero sequence current. These equations
are summarized in Table 1-1 for different types of faults. The result of this calculation is the
positive sequence impedance of the fault loop, including the positive sequence fault resistance
at the fault location.
For simplicity, the influence of the zero sequence current of the parallel line is not considered in
these equations.

is the complex earth fault compensation factor. Note that this is the base of the principle behind
the algorithm; the actual earth fault compensation factor is defined by using different parameters
in the function (see Chapter 1.2.2)
www.protecta.hu
OPERATION PRINCIPLE
Table 1-1 shows that the formula containing the complex earth fault compensation factor yields
the correct impedance value in case of phase-to-earth faults only; the other formula can be
applied in case of phase-to-phase faults without ground. In case of other kinds of faults (three-
phase (-to-earth), phase-to-phase-to-earth) both formulas give the correct impedance value if the
appropriate voltages and currents are applied.
The separation of the two types of equations is based on the presence or absence of the earth
(zero sequence) current. In case of a fault involving the earth (on a solidly grounded network),
and if the earth current is over a certain level, the formula containing the complex earth fault
compensation factor will be applied to calculate the correct impedance, which is proportional to
the distance-to-fault.
It can be proven that if the setting value of the complex earth fault compensation factor is correct,
the appropriate application of the formulas in Table 1-1will always yield the positive sequence
impedance between the fault location and the relay location.

OPERATION PRINCIPLE
1.2.2 General method of calculation of the impedances of the fault

loops
Figure 1-2 Equivalent circuit of the fault loop
For the equivalent impedance elements of the fault loop on the figure above, the following
differential equation can be written:
di
u = Ri + L
dt
If the real and the imaginary components of current and voltage phasors are substituted in this
equation, two equations are derived with the two unknown values R and L, so they can be
calculated.
This basic principle is realized in the algorithm by substituting the phasor components of the line-
to-line voltages for u and the difference of two phase currents in case of two- or three-phase
faults without ground for i. For example, in case of an L2L3 fault:
d (i L 2 − i L 3 )
u L 2 − u L 3 = R1 (i L 2 − i L 3 ) + L1
dt
In case of a phase-to-earth fault, the phasor components of the phase voltage and the phase
current modified by the zero sequence current have to be substituted:
d
u L1 = R1 (i L1 +  R 3io +  R 3iop ) + L1 (i L1 +  L 3io +  L 3iop )
dt
Where
R1 is the positive sequence resistance of the line or cable section between the fault location
and the relay location,
L1 is the positive sequence inductance of the line or cable section between the fault
location and the relay location,
L1 is the faulty phase,
3io =iL1+iL2+iL3 is the phasor component of the zero sequence current of the protected
line,
3iop =iL1p+iL2p+iL3p is the phasor component of the zero sequence current in parallel line,
and

Rm is the real part of the mutual impedance between the protected and the parallel line,
Lm is the mutual inductance between the protected and the parallel line.
The formula above shows that the factors for multiplying the R and L values contain different “”
and “ ” factors but they are real (not complex) numbers.
The applied numerical method is solving the differential equation of the faulty loop, based on three
consecutive samples.

Z_CALC includes six practically identical software modules for impedance calculation:
• The three routines of the phase group are activated by phase voltages, phase currents
and the zero sequence current calculated from the phase current and the zero sequence
currents of the parallel line, as measured in a dedicated input.
• The three routines for the phase-to-phase loops get line-to-line voltages calculated from
the phase voltages and they get differences of the phase currents. They do not need zero
sequence currents for the calculation.
The calculated impedances are analogue outputs of the distance protection function. They serve
the purpose of checking possibility at commissioning.

The loop voltage is above the predefined higher limit (35% of the loop
VOLT_OK_HIGH nominal value). This status signal is generated within the Z_CALC
module.
The loop voltage is above the predefined lower limit (5% of the loop
VOLT_OK_LOW nominal value) but below the predefined higher limit (35% of the loop
nominal value). In this case the directional element should use the

because the secondary swings of the capacitive voltage divider distort
the sampled voltage values. This status signal is generated within the
Z_CALC module.
This status signal is true if the voltage memory is filled up with
MEM_AVAIL available samples above the defined limit for 120 ms. This status
signal is generated within the Z_CALC module.
This status signal is true if there are healthy phase voltages (in case

Table 1-8 Calculation methods applied in the Z_CALC module

CALCULATION METHOD EXPLANATION
No current is available, the impedances are supposed to be higher
Calc(A) than the possible maximum setting values
R=1000000 mΩ, X=1000000 mΩ
The currents and voltages are suitable for the correct impedance
Calc(B) calculation and directional decision
R, X=f(u, i)
The currents are suitable, but the voltages are in the range of the
CVT swings, so during the first 35 ms the directional decision is
Calc(C) based on pre-fault voltages stored in the memory
R, X=f(u, i) direction = f(Umem, i) /in the first 35 ms/
R, X=f(u, i) direction = f(u, i) /after 35 ms/
The currents are suitable, but the voltages are too low. The directional
Calc(D) decision is based on pre-fault voltages stored in the memory
R, X=f(u, i) direction = f(max{R(Umem, i), X(Umem,i)})
The currents are suitable, but the voltages are in the range of the
CVT swings and there are no healthy voltages stored in the memory
but because of asymmetrical faults, there are healthy voltages.
Calc(E) Therefore, during the first 35 ms the directional decision is based on
healthy voltages
R, X=f(u, i) direction = f(Uhealthy, i) /in the first 35 ms/
The currents are suitable, but the voltages are too low, there are no
pre-fault voltages stored in the memory but because of asymmetrical
Calc(F) faults, there are healthy voltages. Therefore, the directional decision
is based on healthy voltages
R, X=f(u, i) direction = f(Uhealthy, i)
If no directional decision is required or in case of prescribed SOTF
logic the fault was caused by a switching, then the decision is based
Calc(G)
on the absolute value of the impedance (forward fault is supposed)
R=abs(R), X=abs(X)
If the decision is not possible (no voltage, no pre-fault voltage, no
healthy phase voltage but directional decision is required), then the
Calc(H)
impedance is set to a value above the possible impedance setting
R=1000500 mΩ, X=1000500 mΩ
www.protecta.hu
OPERATION PRINCIPLE
1.2.5 The impedance calculation methods

The short explanation of the internal logic for the impedance calculation is as follows:
Calculation method Calc(A):

If the CURRENT_OK status signal is false, the current is very small, therefore no fault is possible.
In this case, the impedance is set to extreme high values and no further calculation is performed:
R=1000000, X=1000000.
The subsequent decisions are performed if the current is sufficient for the calculation.
Calculation method Calc(B):

If the CURRENT_OK status signal is true and the VOLT_OK_HIGH status signal is true as well,
then the current is suitable for calculation and the voltage is sufficient for the directionality
decision. In this case, normal impedance calculation is performed based on the currents and
voltages. (The calculation method - the function ”f”- is explained later.)
R, X=f(u, i)
Calculation method Calc(C):

If the CURRENT_OK status signal is true but the VOLT_OK_HIGH status signal is false or there
are voltage swings, the directionality decision cannot be performed based on the available voltage
signals temporarily. In this case, if the voltage is above a minimal level (in the range of possible
capacitive voltage transformer swings), then the VOLT_OK_LOW status is “true”, the magnitude
of R and X is calculated based on the actual currents and voltages but the direction of the fault
(the +/- sign of R and X) must be decided based on the voltage value stored in the memory 120
ms earlier. (The high voltage level setting assures that during the secondary swings of the voltage
transformers, no distorted signals are applied for the decision). This procedure is possible only if
there are stored values in the memory for 120 ms and these values were sampled during a healthy
period.
R, X=f(u, i) direction = f(Umem, i) /in the first 35 ms/
After 35 ms (when the secondary swings of the voltage transformers decayed), the directional
decision returns to the measured voltage signal again:
Calculation method Calc(D):

If the voltage is below the minimal level, then the VOLT_OK_LOW status is “false” but if there are
voltage samples stored in the memory for 120 ms, then the direction is decided based on the sign
either of the real part of the impedance or that of the imaginary part of the impedance, whichever
is higher.
R, X=f(u, i) direction = f(max{R(Umem, i), X(Umem,i)})
Calculation method Calc(E):

The currents are suitable, but the voltages are in the range of the CVT swings, there are no pre-
fault voltages stored in the memory but because of asymmetrical faults, there are healthy phase
voltages. Therefore, during the first 35 ms the directional decision is based on healthy voltages
R, X=f(u, i) direction = f(Uhealthy, i) /in the first 35 ms/
The positive and negative sequence components of the voltage and current system are composed
and used to determine the direction of the fault.
www.protecta.hu
OPERATION PRINCIPLE
Calculation method Calc(F):

The currents are suitable, but the voltages are too low, there are no pre-fault voltages stored in
the memory but because of asymmetrical faults, there are healthy voltages. Therefore, the
directional decision is based on healthy voltages
R, X=f(u, i) direction = f(Uhealthy, i)
The directional decision is described in calculation method Calc(E).
Calculation method Calc(G):

If no directional decision is required or in case of prescribed SOTF logic and the fault was caused
by a switching, then the decision is based on the absolute value of the impedance (forward fault
is supposed)
R=abs(R), X=abs(X)
Calculation method Calc(H):

If the voltage is not sufficient for a directional decision and no stored voltage samples are
available, and if the “switch-onto-fault” logic is not enabled, then the impedance is set to a high
value:
R=1000500 mΩ, X=1000500 mΩ

1.3 The polygon characteristics (POLY)

1.3.1 Impedance characteristics of the distance protection
The calculated R1 and X1=L1 co-ordinate values define six points on the complex impedance
plane for the six possible measuring loops. These impedances are the positive sequence
impedances. The protection compares these points with the „polygon” characteristics of the
distance protection, shown in Figure 1-5 The main setting values of R and X refer to the positive
sequence impedance of the fault loop, including the positive sequence fault resistance of the
possible electric arc and, in case of a ground fault, the positive sequence resistance of the tower
grounding as well. (When testing the device using a network simulator, the resistance of the fault
location is to be applied to match the positive sequence setting values of the characteristic lines.)

If a measured impedance point is inside the polygon, the algorithm generates the true value of

The calculated impedance values are compared one by one with the setting values of the polygon
characteristics. This procedure is shown schematically in Figure 1-6.
The procedure is processed for each line-to-ground loop and for each line-to-line loop. Then this
is repeated for all five impedance stages. The result is the setting of 6 x 5 status variables, which
indicate that the calculated impedance is within the processed polygon, meaning that the
impedance stage has started.

1.4 The phase selection logic (SELECT) and timing

In case of faults, the calculated impedance value for the faulty loop is inside a polygon. If the fault
is near the relay location, the impedances in the loop containing the faulty phase can also be
inside the polygon. To ensure selective tripping, phase selection is needed. This chapter explains
the operation of the phase selection logic.
signals are the results of logic equations graphically edited by the user.

1.4.1 Three-phase fault detection

The processing of diagrams in the following figures is sequential. If the result of one of them is
true, no further processing is performed.
Figure 1-7 shows that if

• all three line-line loops of the polygon impedance logic have stated and
• the currents in all three phases are above the setting limit,
then a three-phase fault is detected, and no further check is performed. The three-phase fault
detection resets only if none of the three line-to-line loops detect fault any longer.

1.4.2 Detection of “L1L2”, “L2L3”, “L3L1” faults

Figure 1-8 explains the detection of a phase-to-phase fault between phases “L1” and “L2”:
• no fault is detected in the previous sequential tests,
• the start of the polygon impedance logic in loop “L1L2” and loop “L1L2” detects the lowest
reactance, and
• “OR” relation of the following logic states:
o no zero sequence current above the limit and no start of the polygon logic in
another phase-to-phase loop, or
o in the presence of a zero sequence current
▪ start of the polygon impedance logic in loops “L1” and ”L2” individually
as well, or
▪ the voltage is small in the faulty “L1L2” loop and the currents in both
phases involved are above the setting limit.
The “L1L2” fault detection resets only if none of the “L1L2” line-to-line, “L1N” or “L2N” loops detect
fault any longer.

OPERATION PRINCIPLE
• The operation of the distance protection may be blocked either by parameter setting
(DIS21_Zn_EPar_eq_Off) or by binary input (DIS21_Zn_Blk_GrO_)
• Starting in phase L1 if this phase is involved in the fault (DIS21_ZnStL1_GrI),
• General start if any of the phases is involved in the fault (DIS21_ZnSt_GrI),
• A trip command (DIS21_ZnTr_GrI) is generated after the timer Zn_Delay has expired.
This timer is started if the zone is started and it is not assigned to “Start signal only”, using
the parameter DIS21_ZnSt_BPar. The time delay is set by the timer parameter
DIS21_ZnDel_TPar.
Figure 1-15 shows the method of post-processing the binary output signals to generate general

The distance protection function can operate only if the current is sufficient for impedance
calculation. Additionally, a phase-to-ground fault is detected only if there is sufficient zero
sequence current. This function performs these preliminary decisions.

applied (see Figure 1-16). The minimal setting current IRes Base Sens and a percentage biasing
IRes Bias must be set. The biasing is applied for the detection of zero sequence current in the

1.6 The power swing detection (PSD)

Power swings can be stable, or they can result in an out-of-step operation. Accordingly, the power
swing detection function can block the distance protection function in case of stable swings, or it
can generate a trip command if the system operates out of step (see Figure 1-17).
The characteristics are affected by the load encroachment settings: if the load setting (R Load)
is lower than the setting of the inner rectangle, then the rectangle will be distorted according to
the encroachment characteristic. According to this, the outer rectangle will be modified as well.

The function can be blocked using the user-programmable graphic output status
DIS21_PSDBlk_GrO_.
This part of the function has two output status signals:
• DIS21_PSDDet_GrI_ to detect power swings. For instance, the user has the possibility
to block one or more distance protection zones during power swings using the
DIS21_Zn_Blk_GrO_ output status of the graphic equation editor.

in any of the phases, then the “Jump_det” condition is true for the “reset” time.
The impedance jump is an internal signal. If during power swings the impedance “jumps”, this

If the swings are instable, the sign of the resistive component of the impedance at entrance is
opposite to the sign of the resistance calculated at leaving the characteristics. Figure 1-21 shows
that “Out-of-step condition” is detected in the individual phases if instable state is measured (i.e.,
the sign of the resistive component is opposite if the impedance enters and if it exits the PSD
characteristics). The function can be disabled using the enumerated parameter Operation PSD
if it is set to “Off”. This function also resets if the out-of-step function is disabled by the parameter
Oper OutOfStep by setting it to “Off”, or an impedance jump is detected (“Jump_det”) according
to Figure 1-20 or a slow swing is detected (see “DIS21_PSDslow_GrI_” on Figure 1-19 above).
In this case, the algorithm can generate the out-of-step tripping condition DIS21_OutTr_GrI_. The
duration of this impulse is determined by the parameter OutOfStep Pulse.

setting Operation PSD (which can be 1 out of 3, 2 out of 3, 3 out of 3).
The duration of the trip command can be set using the parameter OutOfStep Pulse.
1.7 The distance-to-fault calculation (FAULT LOCATOR)

The distance protection function selects the faulty loop impedance (its positive sequence
component) and calculates the distance to fault based on the measured positive sequence
reactance and the total reactance of the line. This reference value is given as a parameter setting
Line Reactance. The calculated percentage value facilitates displaying the distance in kilometers
if the total length of the line is correctly set by the parameter Line Length.
The fault locator works only for the faults detected in Zone1 or Zone2 only.

1.8 The high-speed overcurrent protection function with

switch-onto-fault logic (HSOC SOTF)
The switch-onto-fault protection function can generate an immediate trip command if the function
is enabled and switch-onto-fault condition is detected. The condition of the operation can be the
non-directional starting signal of any distance protection zone as it is selected by a dedicated
parameter, or it can be the operation of the high-speed overcurrent protection function.
The high-speed overcurrent protection function operates if a sampled value of the phase current
is above the setting value.

2.3.1 Notes for testing

XRIO file is available for the function for setting up the tests easily and correctly.
Normally in the EuroProt+ devices the trip contacts are assigned to the Trip Logic function block,
and not to the protection function blocks. Because of this the testing personnel must make sure
that the Trip Logic is switched on (‘Operation’ parameter is set to other than ‘Off’) before starting
the testing, otherwise there will be no physical trip on the relay.
The set delays are to be evaluated as follows:
• Zone1: the delay is between the rising edges of the Start and Trip signal
• Zone2-5: the delay is between the injection of the fault and the Trip signal, so the setting
must be at least 35-40 ms (lower value will not result in lower operation times in these
zones)
By default, either output (AutoSOTF or ManSOTF) of the external “SOTF Condition” function block
is connected to the SOTFCond input of the Distance protection function block. See its description
on the Protecta webpage for more information (Switch-onto-fault preparation function). Before
testing, it is advised to check its logical connections to see what circumstances cause SOTF
operation in the Distance protection function.
The fault locator works only for the faults detected in Zone1 or Zone2 only.
www.protecta.hu
OVERVIEW
Earth fault compensation factors (when xrio file is not used):

The formula of the earth fault compensation factors is as follows
• R = (R0-R1)/3R1 for the resistance and
• L = (X0-X1)/3X1 for the reactance
Performing secondary injection to test the distance protection requires proper settings in the test
equipment as well. When using Omicron or ISA relay testers, please use the RE/RL and XE/XL
mode for earth fault compensation factor definition. These will correspond to the above formulas:
RE/RL =(R0-R1)/3R1 = R
XE/XL = (X0-X1)/3X1 = L
These data are needed to calculate the necessary factors. It is not possible to calculate the factors
using only the complex earth fault compensation factor.
