Abstract

In a differential-type protective relay actuated to generate a signal necessary for the protection of a bus of an electric power system when a troubled current has flown through the bus, a gapped first transformer is used to receive an output from a current transformer which is adapted to detect each current in the bus. Each output of a first detection element, which is actuated when the output of the first transformer is higher than a preset level, is fed out to the exterior only when a value obtained by subtracting the sum of the maximum of the output of the first transformer and the value of a signal obtained by shifting the phase of the output through a predetermined angle from the value of a signal obtained by subjecting the output of the first transformer to full-wave transformation is equal to or lower than a preset value.
