Protection distance of primary distribution box
The horizontal distance between switchbox and fixed electrical equipment should not exceed 3m. Such protection relays are known as "distance protection relays" and only function in case of faults that occur between the location of the protection relay and the chosen reach point. The aim of this technical article is to cover the most important principles of four fundamental relay protections: overcurrent, directional overcurrent, distance and differential for transmission lines, power transformers and busbars. Distance relay R1 has to provide primary protection to line AB and back up protection to lines BC, BD and BE.
