Question

_________ type of relay is preferred for phase fault on short transmission line.

A.

Impedance type

B.

Induction type

C.

Reluctance type

D.

Reactance type

Correct option is D


For short transmission lines, a reactance relay is used, for medium transmission lines, an impedance relay is used, and for long transmission lines, a Mho relay is preferred. 
Explanation:
Reactance relay: This relay is suitable for short lines because it is less affected by arc resistance, which is a significant factor in short line faults.
Impedance relay: This relay is considered appropriate for medium length lines as it provides a balance between the characteristics of short and long lines.
Mho relay: For long transmission lines, a Mho relay is preferred due to its ability to handle power swings and provide accurate fault location.
