Equations from the current transformation and voltage transformation columns are used to
derive inputs to the three (AB, BC, and CA) phase distance elements. For example, if the CTs
are located at the delta side of the delta-wye 11 (Dy11) transformer, and a given zone is set
to look through the transformer into the system connected to the wye winding, the CT
location setting for that zone is to be set to "Dy11" and the relay uses –√3I
traditional I
– I
for the AB phase distance element.

The current supervision pickup setting applies to the currents specified in the current
transformation columns.
A distance zone originates at the location of the VTs (regardless of the location of the CTs).
Consider the system shown. To respond to the indicated fault, a distance relay is applied at
the relay point X.
