If we consider the 100%, 100% in the sense there is another CB present there. so there is a dilemma which CB should operate first. Hence the first zone of protection is never 100%

Zone-1 protection is 80% in (NTPC, POWER GRID, NPCIL, NHPC, BBMB....) bcz we have consider the errors in CT, PT and also the line length. Datas provided should be same as the actual, but it wont. In order to compensate all these Zone-1 protection is 80%
