This conservative setting prevents the relay from mistakenly acting (overreaching) for faults that occur on the next section of the line, ensuring that only the faulty section is isolated. Zone
So, in this case, to protect the whole line, the setting has to be able to detect fault current above 150 A. At this setting,this is as far as we can reach down the line before the fault becomes undetectable.
Relay setting plays an important role in maintaining the reliability of a Power System. Read this blog to find out more about relay setting and how it is
