GROUPED ELEMENTS
POWER SWING MODE
power swing blocking and out-of-step tripping functions. The three-step mode applies if there is enough space between
the maximum load impedances and distance characteristics of the relay that all three (outer, middle, and inner)
characteristics can be placed between the load and the distance characteristics. Whether the spans between the outer
and middle as well as the middle and inner characteristics are sufficient is determined by analysis of the fastest power
swings expected in correlation with settings of the power swing timers.
The two-step mode uses only the outer and inner characteristics for both blocking and tripping functions. This leaves more
space in heavily loaded systems to place two power swing characteristics between the distance characteristics and the
maximum load, but allows for only one determination of the impedance trajectory.

higher than the sum of the line and remote source positive-sequence impedances. Detailed transient stability studies can

POWER SWING OUTER LIMIT ANGLE
the power swing detect mho operating characteristic diagram are to be observed: values greater than 90° result in an
apple-shaped characteristic; values less than 90° result in a lens-shaped characteristic. This angle must be selected in
consideration of the maximum expected load. If the maximum load angle is known, coordinate the outer limit angle with a
20° security margin. Detailed studies can be needed for complex systems to determine this setting. This setting applies to
mho shapes only.
