Problem 1
l.
The B12 relay settings are selected accordir,g to the follou,ing practical guidelines.
Zone I reach: 80% of line l-2 distance: instantaneous operation (minimum delay).
Zone 2 reach: 120% of line 1-2 distance; delay 1 (typical): 0.3 s.
Zone 3 r'each: 100% of line 1-2 plLrs 120% of line 2-3; delay 2 (typical): 1 s

The positive seqllence impedances for the lines are (

The primary Iine impedance is Z' : V'1s/I'y
The impedance seen by relal,s through CT-s and VT-s is
Z: (V'1,N/5000)/(I'r. x 5/1500) :0.06 Z'
The relay reach settings are:
Z,o,,et: 0.8 x 0.06 x (4.2 + j42):0.2 + j2 A
Z,o,rez: 1.2 x 0.06 x (4.2 + j42) :0.3 + j3 f)
Zron"\ x (4.2 + j42 + l.2x 0.06x(4.8+j48) :0 6+j6f)

The settings for B23 are calculated the same way as above.
