Abstract
A method to detect voltage and current of an electric power system and, based on the detected values, calculate resistance and inductance of the power transmission line and thereby to measure the distance from the relay apparatus to the point of the fault of the power transmission line. The voltage (v) and current (i) of the electric power system are detected at constant sampling intervals and the thus detected values at the sampling time points from t.sub.n to t.sub.n+2 are used in the approximate integration formula: ##EQU1## where K.sub.1 and K.sub.2 are constants, and through this approximation the resistance (R) and inductance (L) of the power transmission line as the object of the measurement are obtained, and thus, even when a current including components of different frequencies is flowing through the power transmission line, the distance sought can be measured precisely.
