Section 4 Distance Protection the fault is proportional to the ratio of voltage to current at the point. In an interconnected network in which there may be a number of power stations, the voltage-to-current ratio is a maximum at the power station and decreases along the various feeders to the fault where it is almost zero. Relays responding to this voltage/current ratio can therefore be used at various points on the system to give a measure of the distance or length of the line to the fault. By arranging the relays such that those nearest to the fault operate quicker than those at a farther
