Abstract

A network protector relay produces a close signal entirely from sequence components based on the magnitude and phase relationships between the positive sequence component of the phase-to-ground voltages on the network side of the protector and the positive sequence component of the phasing voltages. The close signal may be inhibited by either the presence of the negative sequence component of the phase-to-ground voltages on the network side of the protector or if a trip contact is closed. The trip contact will be closed under certain specified conditions which make it advantageous to prevent manual closing of the contacts.
