DEFINTE DISTANCE RELAY
Fig. 14 shows the schematic arrangement of a definite-distance type impedance relay. It consists of a pivoted beam F and two electromagnets energized respectively by a current and voltage transformer in the protected circuit. The armatures of the two electromagnets are mechanically coupled to the beam on the opposite sides of the fulcrum. The beam is provided with a bridging piece for the trip contacts. The relay is so designed that, the torque produced by the two electromagnets are in the opposite direction.
Operation. Under normal operating conditions, the pull due to the voltage element is greater than that of the current element. Therefore, the relay remains open. When a fault occurs in the protected zone, the applied voltage to the relay decreases whereas the current increases. The ratio of voltage to current (i.e. impedance) falls below the pre-determined value.

This is so helpful and what happens if the coil is cut from either side of the transfomer (PT or CT).what other check do we need to put in place in such eventuality.
