Figure 30: Curves for selection of Alpha Angle setting

From Table 2 the maximum “Transmission Angle “ for this application is given
as 35ْ , if this is checked in Figure 30 together with the R1/X1 setting value of
0.8 (see above 2.830/3.537 = 0.8), then the required “Alpha Angle” setting is
less than 15ْ (by using the TA = 40 curve). A setting of 15ْ is therefore
applied.

11.2. Zone Z1B

Figure 31: Settings for Zone Z1B

1351 Operating mode Z1B (overreach zone): The zone Z1B will be used for the
teleprotection scheme POTT in this application. For this the zone Z1B must
be applied as forward overreach zone.
1352 R(Z1B), Resistance for ph-ph faults: As was the case for the Zone 1 settings,
this setting must cover all internal arc faults. The minimum setting therefore
equals the R(Z1) setting, 2.830 Ohm. However, additional reach is set for the
