Differential Pilot Wire Protection is simply a differential protection scheme applied to feeders. Several differential schemes are applied for protection of line but Mess Price Voltage balance system and Translay Scheme are most popularly used.
Value of power factor is varies from 0 to 1. R→PF = 1 L→PF = 0 lag C→PF = 0 lead R-L→0 lag < PF < 1 R-C→0 lead < PF < 1 R-C-L→depends on value of R, L and C. PF = R/Z
