what is pilot wire? what is the use of pilot wires?

Answer Posted / sonam sherpa

when ever a transmission line orequipments is to be
protected by using distance realy or by differential realy
or merz price protection. A wire is connected between the
CT which is located in different ends of the protection
zone.
This wire provide the path for the circulating current
produce in abnormal condition, which is sensed by the realy
and therefore is tripped.

If any HVDC line is going with positive & negative(the negative usually have return path of current with earthing electrode). Now the question is if this HVDC earthed electrode which is using as return path and earthed any nearby 400kv or 220kv AC substation equipments. which will be the impact of this on AC substation & its equipment, how severe may be this and what should be the minimum distance require between HVDC earthed electrode and AC substation equipments? It's really an high engineering level question...Dare to answer and increase your knowledge.
