distance protection for cables
- Thread starter 144x
- Start date
Cable circuits are usually protected by a phase comparison or a pilot wire type scheme, both of which require communication between the line ends.
Distance protection MAY be used, providing the setting range available will accommodate the secondary impedance of the cable - note that the impedance angle will be generally lower than for for overhead line circuits. If communication is avalable, a permissive overreaching transfer trip (POTT) scheme may be preferable to give enhanced coverage & improved speed - the need for this will depend on the critical clearing time of the line.
