Directional comparison distance relay system

摘要

A directional comparison distance relay system for protecting a power transmission line. The relay system comprises a fault detection unit which includes a directional distance relay element for deciding whether a fault is in forward or reverse directions; a short-circuit distance relay element for deciding whether a fault is within a protection zone by distance calculation; and an evolving fault detecting unit for deciding an evolving fault when a forward earth fault directional relay in a single phase and a reverse directional relay in a phase are in operation. The relay system further comprises a block unit for blocking trip of a circuit breaker at a near end due to the short-circuit distance relay, and for blocking permissive trip signal to a circuit breaker at the far end, based on an operation of the evolving fault detecting unit.
