The main purpose of line protection and monitoring IEDs is to provide fast,
selective and reliable operation regarding faults on a protected line section.
Information on distance-to-fault is more important for those involved in operation
and maintenance. Reliable information on fault location greatly decreases the
downtime of protected lines, and increases the total availability of the power
system.
Transmission lines are typically made of single type of conductor. If a transmission
line is made of more than one section, the line parameters are different for each
section, and the set-up cannot be considered as one single line. Fault location
algorithms for a single line will thus not meet accuracy requirements in railway
supply system. This can be explained by considering an example of transmission
line with 3 sections as shown in the figure

Figure 165:
Single line diagram with three line sections
For example, consider a case where the line angle of line 1 is 70 degrees, line 2 is
55 degrees and line 3 is 45 degrees. The area that remains between line sections 1,
2, 3 and the sum of the three line sections denotes inaccuracy (see figure
).
Thus summing up of the line parameters and considering it as one line should not
be done for fault location algorithm.
