Fault infeed from remote end
GUID-E28CCC52-497F-4B79-9430-8A2155FED936 v4
All transmission and most all sub-transmission networks are operated meshed.
Typical for this type of network is that fault infeed from remote end will happen
when fault occurs on the protected line. The fault current infeed will enlarge the
fault impedance seen by the distance protection. This effect is very important to
keep in mind when both planning the protection system and making the settings.

Figure 53:
Influence of fault current infeed from remote line end
The effect of fault current infeed from the remote line end is one of the most
driving factors to justify complementary protection for distance protection.
When the line is heavily loaded, the distance protection at the exporting end will
have a tendency to overreach. To handle this phenomenon, the IED has an adaptive
built-in algorithm, which compensates the overreach tendency of zone 1 at the
exporting end. No settings are required for this feature.
