Abstract
A ground distance relay employing phase angle comparator measurement is provided with additional input signals. In one embodiment, a two input ground distance relay is provided with two additional input signals. In this embodiment, the first two input signals comprise an OPERATE SIGNAL of the form IZ-V and a POLARIZING SIGNAL of quadrature shifted form. The third input signal comprises a #2 POLARIZING SIGNAL which is related to the zero sequence voltage at the relay. The fourth input signal comprises a CURRENT SUPERVISION SIGNAL which is related to the zero sequence current at the relay. These four input signals are directed to coincidence and timer circuitry. The presence of these four inputs provides improved relay security against undesirable relay operation for several existing problems. For example, additional security is provided for situations in which a single line to ground fault occurs at or just beyond the relay balance point where fault resistance may cause undesirable relay operation. Also, additional security is provided for situations in which double line to ground faults occur. Other embodiments are disclosed.
