A remotely-controllable relay which is controlled by 175 Hz ripple voltage superimposed on the mains supply voltage in an electric-power distribution network contains an oscillator generating a signal at 173 Hz. This is mixed with the network voltage so that, when ripple voltage is present, a beat note at a frequency of 2 to 3 Hz is generated. This beat note is separated from the unwanted signals, such as the mains supply voltage, by a third order active low-pass filter to control operation of the relay. A similar technique provides simplified detection of output signals from correlation-type filters.
