It is observed that many utilities use communication-aided protection in series compensated lines, and distance protection is used with reduced reach. Solutions described in relay manuals are presented to demonstrate the manufacturers'' approaches to problems
When capacitors are connected in series with a transmission line, equivalent system impedance seen at the capacitor side of the fault may appear capacitive while the other side of the fault is inductive. This condition is known as current inversion. Both distance protection and current differential protection may fail under

As mentioned earlier compensation in a transmission system is normally introduced for high-power EHV transmission line, which usually employs distance relay for protection purpose. A distance relay works on real time impedance calculation of the line with real time measurements aided with fault type information.
However, during transmission line faults, the presence of series capacitors causes problems for distance protection relays. Distance protection is the most widely used protection method in transmission lines, due to its relatively simple working principle and its ability to work with only local measurements of voltage and current.

Distance protection is widely used in transmission lines, but it can be strongly affected by series capacitors. This section briefly describes some special phenomena that can occur during faults in series compensated lines, and their adverse effect on distance protection.
Series capacitors also create challenges for protection schemes [ 2, 8 ]. Distance protection is the most widely used principle for transmission line protection. It has the desirable ability to operate without communication along the line, but it is strongly affected by the presence of series compensation.
It is not economic to design series capacitors to withstand the compensated line's fault current and consequent capacitor voltage up to the time when line protection operates. Thus, the capacitor bank needs its protection from overvoltages during fault conditions. Various arrangements of capacitor bank protection are used by different utilities.
Solutions described in relay manuals are presented to demonstrate the manufacturers' approaches to problems associated with series capacitor protection. While there are methods to counter voltage inversion, current inversion seems to represent a more serious challenge.
Common capacitor bank protection configurations ( a) SG and CB in parallel with series inductor, ( b) CB and inductor in series with parallel MOV, ( c) multiple CB and SG and ( d) MOV, SG and CB in parallel with series inductor.
The application of distance protection to series compensated lines is influenced by many design factors, such as capacitor bank position and operation, impedance, compensation level, CT/VT position, etc.
