Relay device

摘要

A relay device is disclosed which protects and controls an electric power line by detecting an electrical quantity carried by the electric power line. The relay device includes a rectifying circuit connected to the electric power line. The output of the rectifying circuit is supplied to a peak value holding circuit which stores the peak value of the output of the rectifying device during each predetermined period under control of a resetting pulse. The output of the peak value holding circuit is supplied to a detecting circuit having a predetermined threshold level.
