Abstract

Protective relay apparatus which includes monitoring and detecting functions related to subsynchronous currents in a three-phase electrical power system. The monitoring function provides signals related to the positive sequence component of any subsynchronous current flowing at a monitored subsynchronous frequency. The detecting function is responsive to the signals provided by the monitoring function, distinguishing between subsynchronous currents due to self-excited oscillations, and those due to transient oscillations, to provide a timely trip signal for a circuit breaker in either instance.
