Abstract

By switching-in a trip boundary, which excludes the load range in the complex impedance plane, of a directed or non-directed end or final stage of a measuring system of a distance protection apparatus, it is possible to eliminate faulty or spurious triggering of the protection apparatus, notwithstanding a possible improper excitation. The functional reliability of the protection apparatus is thus improved and there is possible monitoring of fault functions where, in each case, there is logically coupled a "yes" or "no"-type output response of the measuring system with a "no" or "yes"-type excitation output by means of appropriate and comparison logic circuitry.
