Distance relays respond to a ratio of voltage and current at the relay location, this ratio is in the form of impedance, as the impedance of a transmission line is proportional to its length. This concept is used for locating the location of the fault in a transmission line, via distance measurement.

Thus a relay capable of measuring the impedance of a transmission line up to a predetermined point is used, known as as the distance relay.
