Abstract

In a protective relaying system wherein a carrier wave frequency modulated by an electric quantity is transmitted to a receiving station for operating a relay and an abnormal condition of the transmitted signal is detected by detecting the frequency variation of the carrier wave, there is provided an abnormal condition detector which compares the lengths of contiguous or closely adjacent periods, or functions thereof, of the received carrier wave.
