ABSTRACT:
Directional relay and method for monitoring at least one A.C. power transmission line to determine the position of a fault on the line with respect to a measurement location thereon.
According to a representative embodiment characteristic parameters, typically the respective phases, of a first signal representing the difference of complex voltages after and before the occurrence of the fault and of a second signal representing the line current after the occurrence of the fault, are compared, the result of the comparison providing the desired indication.
