Distance relay is tripped by the line impedance calculated at the relay point. Accordingly the accurate operation depends on the precise calculation of line impedance. Impedance can be accurately calculated in case of overhead line. However, in case of power cables or combined transmission lines, impedance can not be accurately calculated because cable systems have the sheath, grounding wires, and cable cover protection units (CCPUs). There are also several grounding systems in cable systems. Therefore, if there is a fault in cable system, these terms will severely be caused much error to calculation of impedance. Accordingly the proper compensation should be developed for the correct operation of the distance relay. This paper presents the distance calculating algorithm in combined transmission line with power cable using wavelet transform. In order to achieve such purpose, judgement method to discriminate the fault section in both sections was proposed using db1 coefficient summation. And also, error compensation factor was proposed for correct calculation of impedance in power cable.

The functional test of protection relays is divided into two kind of test types; the steady-state test and dynamic test. Because the steady-state test is comparatively easy, this test is used to test the characteristics of the relaying elements, operating values, resetting values and etc. using equipment such as Doble. But the dynamic test has to be performed on the test environment with RTDS(real time digital simulator) because of the dynamic characteristics of real protection relays. Therefore, it is not usually easy to perform dynamic test of relays using power system simulation tool based on PC(personal computer) such as PSCAD/EMTDC. This paper discusses how to develop and implement a test model and user-defined components that can be performed dynamic test using PSCAD/EMTDC.
