A 220 kV transmission line with an impedance of 1.5 + j7.5 Ω is protected
by a reactance relay. Determine the reach of the reactance relay for the first
zone. The CT ratio and PT ratio are 500/1 A and 220 kV/110 V, respectively.
The first zone covers 80% of the line section.

1. a) X1=1.5 Ω (a) 4

b) X1=2.5 Ω

c) X1=1.75 Ω

d) X1=1.8 Ω

Solution:
Line impedance=1.5+j7.5
Line reactance = j7.5
CT ratio=500/1
PT Ratio=220 kV/110V
CT Ratio 500 /1

A transmission line is feed from local end A and remote end B. The
impedance of the whole transmission line is 7 + j21 Ω. The fault occurs at a
point F on the line and the impedance from the relaying point A to the fault
point, i.e., ZAF = 3.5 + j10.5 Ω. The fault resistance (RF) = 7 Ω. The fault
current contribution from bus A to the fault is 200∟-76.36°. The
contribution of fault current from bus B to the fault is 300∟-84.29°.
Determine the apparent impedance seen by the relay at A without

a) 11.06∟71.56°

b) 14.84∟45°

c) 10.5∟45°

d) 25.23∟56.30°

Solution:
Neglecting the contribution of the current from remote bus, the apparent impedance seen by
the relay RA is given by
Z A = 3.5 + j10.5 + 7 = 10.5 + j10.5 = 14.84∠45°
A 220 kV long transmission line has an impedance of 2 + j4Ω. This line is
protected by MHO type of distance relay with a characteristics angle of 60°
and its first zone covers 90% of the line length. The CT ratio and PT ratio
are 1000/1 A and 220 kV/110 V, respectively. Considering a fault resistance
of 2 Ω, the first zone setting of the distance relay is
3. (d) 4
a) K1=2.79 Ω
b) K1=4.2 Ω
c) K1=2.50 Ω
d) K1=2.72 Ω
Solution:
Line impedance=2+j4=4.472<63.43°
CT ratio=1000/1
PT Ratio=220 kV/110V
Characteristic angle (φ) = 60°
CT Ratio
Z1 = × ((90% of X line ) + fault resistance)
PT Ratio

Hence first zone setting of mho relay is
