The relay coarse reach KZPh should be set to the nearest value below the required Zone

relay sensitivity as high as possible.

Power Swing Blocking
With the Permissive Overreach scheme POR 1, the Power Swing Blocking
characteristic Z6 is set concentric with the Zone 3 characteristic, so that if the measured
impedance locus travels into the Z6 characteristic, but takes longer than timer TZ6
setting to pass through into the Zone 3 characteristic, the Power Swing Blocking unit
will operate. The Power Swing Blocking unit is arranged to block under certain system
conditions and can be preset to block one or more of the relay zones. The recommended
settings for the Power Swing Blocking characteristic Z6 forward and reverse reach
settings (see Section 16.0) are

Lenticular Characteristic
For applications where there are likely to be problems of load encroachment on the
relay Zone 3 characteristic, or even more so if the Power Swing Blocking characteristic
Z6 is used, the lenticular shaped characteristic is available for Zone 3 and Zone 6.
The major axis of the lenticular characteristic (b) would be set in accordance with the
forward and reverse settings required, but the minor axis (a) can be selected to provide
an aspect ratio (a/b) of 1.0, 0.67 or 0.41. The aspect ratio should be chosen to prevent
the load impedance encroachment into the relay characteristic with a minimum safety
margin of 10%.

Permissive Overreach Schemes For POR 2, POR 2 WI Trip
When the weak infeed logic is required, the Permissive Overreach scheme POR 2 or
POR 2 WI Trip with reversed looking Zone 3 comparators needs to be selected and the
relay settings for Zone 1, Zone 2 and the Residual compensation would be the sme as
for scheme POR 1, but the settings for Zone 3 and the Power Swing Blocking Unit.

Reversed Zone 3 Setting
When set reverse looking, the Zone 3 comparators must be set as directional mho's and,
therefore, only need to be set in the reverse direction (see Section 15.0).
Required reverse Zone 3 setting = 1.2 x Zone 2 relay setting at opposite end, to cover
errors due to relay accuracy's (CT and VT errors).

Power Swing Blocking
When the Power Swing Blocking unit is used with the Permissive Overreach schemes
POR 2 because the Zone 3 comparators are set reverse looking, the Zone 6
characteristic of the Power Swing Blocking unit has to be set concentric with the Zone
2 characteristic. In the example chosen, for the 100 Km line between Green Valley and
Blue River, the required settings would be:
Zone 6 forward reach = 1.3 x Zone 2 reach

Current Reversals
The current reversal logic available with the Permissive Overreach schemes need only to
be used when the setting of the Zone 2 comparators is greatr than 1.5 times the
impedance of the protected line. In the chosen worked example, since the setting of the
Zone 2 comparators is only 1.3 times the protected line impedance, the current reversal
logic does not need to be used and the recommended settings for the current reversal
guard timer are:
TP = 98ms and TD =0
Check On Comparator Voltage At Zone 1 Reach
Worst condition is with the parallel line out of service and it is assumed that the values
of maximum and minimum fault levels at Green Valley and Blue River substations are
for single infeed conditions.

For a + 5% reach accuracy with the Zone 1 multiplier set to unity Optimho requires at
least 2.05 volts for earth fault measurement or at least 3.55 volts for phase fault
measurement, For a + 10% accuracy, the required voltages are 1.04 and 1.8 volts
respectively. For Zone 1 multipliers greater than unity, the required relay voltages for
accuracy vary linearly with the multiplier setting,
In this case, the Zone | multiplier KZ1 = 4.64
Thus, the required minimum voltages for a+ 5% reach accuracy are.
4.64 x 2.05 = 9.51 volts for earth faults
