Patent number: 8218278Abstract: A current differential relay device is described. The device has two transmission parts provided in parallel and communicating with an other end of a power transmission line through two transmission paths and transmitting and receiving a quantity data of electricity of each of the terminals to and from an other end in the form of the digital data obtained through analog/digital conversion. Two current differential operation parts are connected to each of the two transmission parts and perform a current differential operation independently for each of the transmission paths by using the digital data of the quantity data of electricity of the one end of the power transmission line and of the other end of the power transmission line. A signal generation part generates a trip signal from the current differential operation result of the two current differential operation parts.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2007Date of Patent: July 10, 2012Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha ToshibaInventors: Masamichi Saga, Itsuo Shuto, Mitsuaki Mizunoue
