Relay Protection Distance Measurement

Home / Relay Protection Distance Measurement

A distance relay (or impedance relay) is a protection device used on power transmission lines that estimates the distance to a fault by measuring the apparent impedance between the relay location and the fault point. Unlike overcurrent relays, which only respond to the magnitude of current, a distance relay measures the impedance of. Please use this note only in combination with the related product manual which contains several important safety instructions.

Distance Protection

DISTANCE RELAY FOUNDATIONS Since the impedance of a transmission circuit is relative to its length, it is suitable to use a relay capable of measuring the impedance of a circuit up to a present

Testing Distance Protection

A distance protection function measures voltage and current at the relay location and calculates impedance to detect and locate faults in the system. Based on the primary line data,

Distance Protection

The fundamental rule of distance protection includes the division of the voltage at the relaying point by the measured current. The calculated impedance is equated with the reach point impedance.
