The tendency of a Reach of Distance Relay to operate at impedance larger than its setting value is known as overreach. Overreach is the presence of d.c. offset in the fault current wave, as the offset current has a higher peak value than that of a symmetrical wave for which the relay is set.
A coil having large number of turns of fine wire is wound on the middle limb of the shunt magnet. This coil is known as pressure or voltage coil and is connected across the supply mains. The voltage coil produces a high ratio of inductance to resistance.
