4.2 RESIDUAL COMPENSATION
To improve accuracy of impedance measuring elements such as those used in distance protection and fault

can be calibrated by the positive sequence impedance
between the relaying point and the fault (Z

where:
● Z
L0
is the total zero sequence impedance of the line (a complex value)
● Z

is the total positive sequence impedance of the protected line (a complex value)
The complex residual compensation coefficient is defined by two settings: kZN Res Comp (the absolute value) and
kZN Res Angle (the angle in degrees).
Caution:
The kZN R
es Angle is different to that in LFZP, SHNB, and LFZR products: If importing
settings from these products, you must subtract angle ÐZ

4.3 MUTUAL COMPENSATION
On parallel circuits, mutual flux coupling can alter the impedance seen by fault locators and distance zones. A
curr
ent input (the Mutual Compensation input) is provided to compensate.
If you want to use Mutual Compensation, the connection polarity must match that shown in the connection
diagram and the element must be Enabled in the settings.
Consider for example an A-phase to earth fault on one circuit of a parallel circuit. The positive sequence
impedance between the relaying point and the fault can be calculated using the following equation:
