Distance Relay Problems
• Distorted Distance Measurement• Incorrect Directionality (Voltage & Current inversions)
• Transient over- and under-reach ( Sub- sychronous Transient Oscillations)
• Nonlinear & solid by-passing of capacitors initiate transient changes of :– Voltage magnitude and polarity– Impedance measured

Summary
• Transient fault studies essential for SC Lines
– Difficulty to gather data.
• Automatic Test Equipment extremely useful design
tool
• Derived from paper:“Fault simulation studies for protection of series compensated lines”
