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.

When voltage changes occur in rapid succession, with magnitudes large enough to cause lighting level variations. The human eye-brain response is most sensitive to periodic r.m.s. voltage changes that occur at around 8 - 10 cycles per second.
