Abstract
A device having a pulse catching function for detecting fault test pulses in an electrical power distribution network in response to a fault. The device includes one or more sensors for measuring current and/or voltage, where the device detects the pulses by loss of voltage followed by identifying one or more of a peak current magnitude of the pulses being greater than a predetermined current value, a pulse duration of the pulses being greater than a predetermined time, a predetermined interval between consecutive pulses and a presence of a pulse/inverse pulse sequence.
