Abstract
A system is provided for monitoring and protecting an electric power distribution system using intelligent electronic devices that may rely on the communication from wireless electrical measurement devices. A wireless electrical measurement device may obtain electrical measurements on a transmission line and wirelessly transmit messages containing the measurements to an intelligent electronic device. The intelligent electronic device may determine a consistency of wireless communication from the wireless electrical measurement device based at least in part on the received messages. When the wireless communication is determined to be presently consistent, the intelligent electronic device may operate in a first mode. When the wireless communication is determined not to be presently consistent, the intelligent electronic device may operate in a second mode.
