4.7.10 DISTANCE ELEMENTS
The distance protection function (ANSI device 21) implements two zones of mho phase-to-phase distance protection (six
elements total) using the conventional phase comparator approach, with the polarizing voltage derived from the pre-fault
positive sequence voltage of the protected loop. This protection is intended as backup for the primary line protection. The
elements make use of the neutral-end current signals and the generator terminal voltage signals (see figure below), thus
providing some protection for internal and unit transformer faults. In systems with a delta-wye transformer (DY330°), the
appropriate transformations of voltage and current signals are implemented internally to allow proper detection of trans-
