ABSTRACT:
A quadrilateral characteristic relay system for determining a fault associated with a multiple-phase electric power transmission system is disclosed. The system dynamically adapts one line of the quadrilateral trip region to account for the interaction of load current and fault resistance. As a result of the adaptation, the system exhibits better overreach and underreach performance characteristics. The system employs impedance and voltage plane quadrilateral characteristics using negative sequence current as a proxy for fault current. In the voltage plane, the fault determination is made through a series of comparisons, avoiding computationally inefficient mathematical divisions.
