A method for detecting islanding operation of a rotating-machine type dispersed generator. The dispersed generator is interconnected with a main electric source through a circuit breaker to constitute an electric power system. The estimating method is implemented as follows: (a) changing electric power of the electric power system; (b) detecting frequency component of the electric power; and (c) deciding that an islanding operation of the dispersed generator is executed if the change of the frequency component becomes greater than a predetermined value. With this method, it becomes possible to detect the islanding operation of the dispersed generator even if the power flow at the interconnecting circuit breaker is generally zero.

The present invention discloses a grounding protective relay which compensates for zero phase circulation current between lines and zero phase vertical voltage drops generated by induction in a common suspension multiline system. The grounding protective relay comprises, substantially, a current detector which detects the inter-line differential currents, a filter which eliminates the positive phase component from the inter-line differential current of each pair of phases, calculating sections calculate the zero phase component, the ratio of the magnitudes and the phase difference, an grounded phase detector, and a selection section which selects, according to the phase which is grounded, a deriveration result from a calculating section, characterized in that, when a grounded fault occurs, the zero phase circulation current is selected and is compensated.
