ABSTRACT:
The contacts of an isolation relay are positioned between a line interface circuit and the associated feed resistors, the relay being controlled to open the contacts in response to an excessive common mode alternating current through the feed resistors. The common mode a.c. is detected by a sensing amplifier, and is integrated and compared with a threshold level in a dectector unit. If the common mode a.c. is excessive, a zero crossing predictor enables the detector unit to control the isolation relay and open its contacts at a zero crossing of the a.c. A phase shifter in the zero crossing predictor compensates for the response delay of the isolation relay. As the excessive current is now interrupted, the sensing amplifier responds to the line voltage. When this falls below a predetermined peak level, a delayed resetting of the protection arrangement is automatically effected.
