In transmission protection system we generally Distance protection

to detect & safguard to enhance system. Considering the total ditance

we saperate into different Zones, like Z1 covers 1st 50 %, Z2 covers 50-100 % 

distance, Z3 covers -10% distance. Say Z1(Impedence) = 290 Ohm, in case fault

Z1 value will differ with orizinal value, when it reaches trip value Distance relay will

operate.
