Abstract
In one embodiment, a network protector for a spot network includes a circuit breaker and a network protector relay coupled to the circuit breaker. The network protector relay is structured and configured to have network protector relay non-sensitive trip settings for controlling operation of the circuit breaker that will cause the network protector to remain closed when: (i) an angular difference (±) between a transformer phase-to-neutral voltage of the first feeder branch and a transformer phase-to-neutral voltage of the second feeder branch is less than or equal to a first threshold value, and (ii) a magnitude difference (±) between the transformer phase-to-neutral voltage of the feeder branch and the transformer phase-to-neutral voltage of the second feeder branch is less than or equal to a second threshold value.
