Power swing detection

System separation, disconnection of heavy
load or trip big generators might lead to
power swings in the system and
the measured impedance can enter the
operation characteristic and
unwanted trip

Detection of power swings

Based on measurement of delta-time when
passing the characteristic (blue and black line)
Block the distance protection
Block the function when residual currents are
present
