Short transmission lines:

Ground faults are highly subjected here because of the trees falling down during the heavy winds. So fault resistance can effect in estimating the reach of the distance relay. ... So the mho relay(gets affected with arc resistance) is used in conjunction with the reactance relay here.

Hope it helps. ✨
