DEVICE AND METHOD RELATING TO PROTECTION OF AN OBJECT AGAINST OVER-CURRENTS COMPRISING OVER-CURRENT REDUCTION AND CURRENT LIMITATION

摘要

This invention is related to a device and a method for protection, in an electric power plant, of an object (1) against overcurrents from a network (3) or another equipment included in the high voltage plant, the device comprising a switching device (4) in a line (2) between the object and the network/equipment. The line (2) between the object and the network/equipment is connected to an arrangement (5) reducing overcurrents towards the object (1), said arrangement (5) being activatable for overcurrent reduction with the assistance of an arrangement (11-13) detecting overcurrent conditions within a time period substantially shorter than the breaktime of the switching device (4).
