Residual Compensation

Zrelay = VaR / (Ia + kN•In) = n•Z1 kN = ( Z0/Z1 – 1) / 3 = residual compensation factor Residual Compensation is a technique that allows measurement of the fault impedance in terms of positive-sequence impedance, by adding gap portion,, KN,, of the residual current,, In,, to the phase p current.

Loop Impedance Calculation In o order de to o test es the e relay e ay oonee needs eeds to o ZN = KN * Z1 know the Loop impedance.
