Line differential protection (87L):
The line differential protection consists of three protection functions, phase segregated differential protection function, sudden change current differential protection function and zero sequence current differential protection function.
These three functions are associated with achieving high sensitivity and reliability with capacitive charge current compensation and reliable phase selection during various system disturbances. The precise time
synchronization of sampling ensures the differential protection of both end IEDs to operate reliably

Distance protection (21, 21N)
The transmission line distance protection provides a five zones full scheme protection with all phase to phase faults and phase to earth fault loops independently for each zones.
Additionally, one extension zone is employed to co-operate with Auto-reclosing and tele-protection schemes.
