GeneralThe distance protection function is the most widely spread protection function in transmission and subtransmission networks. It is also becoming increasingly important indistribution networks. The main reasons for this are: Its independence on communication links between the line ends, because for its operation,it uses information about the locally available currents and voltages. The distance protection forms a relatively selective protection system (non-unit protectionsystem) in the power network. This means that it can also operate as a remoteback-up protection for other primary elements in the network.The basic requirements for modern line protection, such as speed, sensitivity and selectivity, with their strict requirements for dependability and security (availability), aregetting more stringent. In addition, modern distance protections must be able to operate in networks with existing distance relays, which are mostly designed in a different technology (static or even electromechanical relays).Older distance relays protect in many cases power lines only at phase-to-phase and three-phase faults. Some other protection is used for phase-to-earth faults.The flexibility of modern distance protection is for this reason very important. This especially applies when it is used in a complex network configuration, for example, on parallel operating multicircuit lines and on multiterminal lines.The selective operation of the distance protection does not depend on communication facilities between two line ends. At the same time, the distance protection can detect faults beyond the current transformers at the remote terminal. This functionality makes it an ideal complement to the line differential protection function that cannot detect faults beyond the current transformer at the opposite terminal.Distance protection zonesThe distance protection function in
