Can someone explain why distance relaying is generally faster than line current differential scheme for in zone faults.

No need to wait for communications from the other end.
 
current differential scheme is a unit-protection.
distance relaying needs telecommunication to be a unit-protection.
I did not understand David post.
 
What David meant was that in order to make a Trip or Restrain decision, the current diff scheme must wait to receive information packets from the remote end via comms. network which could either be via multiplexer or direct fibre
 
Assume this is line differential, and not bus or transformer differential.
 
Sorry for my ignorance. What do you mean: Check the OP?
