D60 Line Distance relay
Setting Example
Provided for D60 model
D60-C00-HCH-F8A-H6P-M6P-P6C
Primary Functions
This relay provides 3-pole tripping functions and initiates autoreclosure. The primary purpose of this relay
is 3-zone stepped line phase and ground distance protection, pilot Permissive Overreaching Tripping
scheme. Distance is blocked by VT Fuse Failure, Power Swing Detect and load Enchroachment. Line
Pickup (switch onto the fault) backs up distance on line energization. Autoreclose can be initiated
externally (from L90 relay, for example) and is supervised by synchrocheck. Relay has inputs from breaker
auxiliary contacts, panel pushbuttons, RTU etc, also outputs for trip, alarm, status that are collected by the
HMI and RTU.
VT: VTpri=161000/3V, VTsec=115/3V, VTR= VTpri/ VTsec=161000/115=1400

GROUND DISTANCE
Notes on ground distance settings:
Setting “
Ground Dist Z0/Z1 Mag”
This setting specifies the ratio between the zero sequence and positive sequence impedance magnitudes
required for zero sequence compensation of the ground distance elements.
Setting “
Ground Dist Z0/Z1 Ang”
This setting specifies the angular difference between the zero sequence and positive sequence impedances
required for zero sequence compensation of the ground distance elements. The value to be entered is the zero
sequence impedance angle minus the positive sequence impedance angle. It can be positive or negative sign.
The two settings above are provided in all zone elements to provide precision in the event of tapped,
non-homogenous or series compensated lines.
Calculation of Compensation Settings:
For Positive Sequence Z1 = 385
and Zero Sequence Z0=985 in secondary ohms
Then: Z0/Z1 MAG = 9/3 = 3 and Z0/Z1 ANG = 80– 85 = -5

POWER SWING DETECT [GROUP 1]
Power Swing is used to block phase distance
As MHO Zone 3 is blocked by Power Swing Blocking,
The Inner Limit Angle is established by
co-ordination with Zone 3. Goal is to find where
swing locus intersects Zone 3 (point 2), take a safety margin
of 25% (point 3) and establish angle.
