Learn 132kV Line Protection Setting and Calculations

Dear All,

Distance protection relay is one of the most important and artistic. A distance relay is a type of protection relay most often used for transmission line protection. Distance relays measure the impedance from the installation side to the fault location and operates in response to changes in the ratio of measured current and voltage.

Distance protection schemes are commonly employed for providing the primary or main protection and backup protection for AC transmission line and distribution line against three-phase faults, phase-to-phase faults, and phase-to-ground faults.

I have field experience of 18 years and I have prepare this course based on practical experience. Following topics are covered in this course.
