| 摘要 |
A redundant communications scheme for a protective relay (12) which allows high speed, reliable, fault tolerant communications betwen peer protective devices in a power distribution network. Communication over a selectable primary communication channel (14a) are interrupted and switched to a secondary communication channel (14b), which can operate according to a different communication protocol, when a fault is detected on the primary communication channel. The fault detection and switching is performed transparently to the main protective relay processor (16).
