ABSTRACT:
A system for rapidly detecting short circuits on power transmission lines in electrical power systems is provided to protect the power network from the effects of short circuits within the system. The instant invention provides a system for detecting multi-phase faults and causing three-phase tripping when required and also detecting single-phase faults and providing a control signal to trip the single-phase that is faulted. Signals proportional to system voltages are applied to a memory circuit to produce signals indicative of the steady-state condition of the circuit. Three other signals indicative of the voltage drops of the transmission line phases are produced by applying a signal proportional to the instantaneous current flow through each phase to replica impedance circuits. For each phase, the difference between the voltage drop and the system voltage is multiplied by a polarizing memory voltage. The signal for each phase indicates the status of that phase and can be used to generate a single-phase trip signal for a single line to ground fault. By adding the three single-phase signals, a signal is produced that can be used to perform high speed detection of multi-phase faults. Following this determination the appropriate circuit breaker operating signal is provided to activate the circuit breaker or breakers protecting the part of the system faulted.
