Abstract
An electrical protection system arranged to detect and isolate faults either in a electrical power distribution. The system comprises at least a first busbar and a second busbar in electrical communication with each other through s powerline having a first end electrically coupled to the first busbar by a first circuit breaker and a second end connected to the second busbar by a second circuit breaker. It is connected to the at least two busbars, and configured to simultaneously collect/determine a first electrical quantity at each of the at least two busbars and compare the collected/determined electrical quantity to a second. When the first electrical quantity value less than the second quantity value, the system causes the first and second circuit breakers to open so as to decouple the electrical connection between first and second busbars. The systemdetects and isolates fault efficiently while using voltage measurements.
