Distance Relay Power SYstems 3

The document discusses the timing and settings for protection zones in electrical systems, particularly focusing on Zone 1, Zone 2, and Zone 3 configurations. It outlines the necessary time delays, safety margins, and conditions for coordination between zones to ensure effective fault protection. Additionally, it addresses considerations for short lines, transformers, and load impacts on relay settings.
