Principle of Line Distance Protection
Distance relay protection determines the fault distance by measuring the impedance between the fault point and the protection installation point. It uses the ratio of busbar voltage to line current at the installation point as the measured impedance. This impedance is proportional to the fault distance and is largely unaffected by system operating conditions, ensuring that the protection range remains essentially constant.
