Polygons
A tripping characteristic in the shape of a polygon is defined for each of the distance
zones. In total, there are five independent zones and one additional controlled zone
for each fault impedance loop. In Figure 6-29 the shape of a polygon is illustrated. The
first zone is shaded and forward directional, the third zone is reverse directional.
In general, the polygon is defined by means of a parallelogram which intersects the
axes with the values R and X as well as the tilt
ϕ
Line
. A load trapezoid with the setting
R
Load
und ϕ
Load
may be used to cut the area of the load impedance out of the polygon.
The axial coordinates can be set individually for each zone;
ϕ
Line
,R
Load
und ϕ
Load
are
common for all zones. The parallelogram is symmetrical with respect to the origin of
the R–X–coordinate system; the directional characteristic however limits the tripping
range to the desired quadrants (refer to “Direction Determination” below).
The R-reach may be set separately for the phase–phase faults and the phase–earth
faults to achieve a larger fault resistance coverage for earth faults if this is desired.
For the first zone an additional tilt
α exists, which may be used to prevent overreach
resulting from angle variance and/or two ended infeed to short-circuits with fault resist-
ance. For Z1B and the higher zones this tilt does not exist.
