Equation 13.18 is an important result which shows that the capacitance only depends on the geometrical properties of the capacitor: the area of plates and the distance between plates. Therefore, the capacitance of a capacitor can be increased by either increasing the area of its plates or decreasing the distance between the plates.

A form of protection against faults on long-distance power lines is called distance relaying, so named because it is actually able to estimate the physical distance between the relay''s sensing transformers (PTs and CTs) and the location of the fault. In this way, it is a more sophisticated form of fault detection than simple overcurrent (e.g. 50 or 51 relay).
