Load encroachment
One problem with mho impedance elements is that the
fault resistance coverage varies with the forward reach
setting. When applying Zone-1 elements to short lines,
fault resistance coverage may be insufficient. It can also
be disadvantage for Zone2 elements to be set with
unusually high forward reach setting in relation to the
minimum load impedance. It may be possible for the
minimum load impedance to encroach upon the Zone-2
operating region.

Setting of Protection
Zone-3 Remote back-up
General
Usually set to provide remote back-up protection for
adjacent sections of a transmission circuit.
May have independently adjustable forward and
reverse reach setting
Usually forward reach provides remote back-up
protection.
With duplicate main protection, there may be a
case for not applying Zone-3 remote back-up
protection at all.
