Method and apparatus for monitoring conductor currents for a fault current

摘要

A method and apparatus for monitoring conductor currents for a fault current which changes the magnetic bias of a magnetic circuit in which the magnetization of the magnetic core is alternatingly reversed by sequences of magnetizing pulses and a determination made of the number of pulses up to which the pulse amplitude exceeds predetermined voltage reference value, with the change of this number of pulses used to derive an output signal.
