Impedance. If there is an equivalent generator source at bus E, then it feeds the fault current
as IAB and IED are approximately in phase. This is known as infeed effect. From the above SUBSCRIBE NOW
equation it is clear that infeed causes an equivalent increase in apparent impedance seen by
the relay R1. we respect your privacy and take protecting it
seriously
From the Relay’s perspective, the fault is pushed beyond its actual location. Thus, a fault in
Zone-2 may be pushed into Zone-3, thereby compromising selectivity of Zone-2. But, infeed
effect does not compromise selectivity of Zone-1 as the fault current will only be IAB in that
case.
If there is an equivalent load at bus E, then IAB and IEB will be in phase opposition.
V = (Line Impedance of AB)×IAB+ (Line Impedance till Fault location on BC) ×IBF

= Z1IAB+XZ2(IAB-IED)
= Z1IAB+XZ2IAB – XZ2IED
Thus it is clear from above equation that Relay R1 do not measure the Impedance up to fault
location F2 i.e. (Z1+XZ2) rather it underestimates the Impedance i.e. lower than the actual
Impedance. This is called Outfeed Effect.
In other words, the relay R1 perceives fault to be at a point closer than its actual location. If
this perceived point falls well in the section AB, the relay R1 will operate instantaneously for
a fault on the back up line, thereby compromising selectivity. Hence, instantaneous
primary protection Zone-1of distance relay is always set below 100% line impedance.
Typically, Zone-1 is set to cover 0.8 to 0.9 times the primary line length. In other
words, we expect errors in measurements of fault impedance to be within 10-20%
accuracy. The remaining portion of the primary line is provided with a time delayed
protection known as Zone-2.
