Distance Relay on ETAP

Hello, I am using the ETAP software for my diploma thesis. In this project, I have connected several wind turbines together, and I am using underground cables (one cable per phase) buried at a depth of 0.8 meters, which extend all the way to a High and Extra High Voltage substation located 21 kilometers away. The voltage at the beginning of the cable is 33 kV.

In ETAP, I want to implement protection for these cables using distance relays. However, even though I select “Distance Relays” as the type, no manufacturer in the library shows any available distance relay models. Am I doing something wrong, or is it that ETAP version 16.0.0 simply does not include any distance relays in the standard library? Thank you.

Best thing is to contact ETAP HELP. But you should have a current maintenance agreement with ETAP for any tech help. And also I believe that ETAP V16 is now outdated.
