Abstract A superhigh-speed relaying system and apparatus for the protection of power systems featuring a directional distance relaying scheme, based essentially upon the simple equation representing the relationship among the voltage, current, resistance and inductance of a given power system: LdI/dt+RI E where E designates the voltage, I the current, R the resistance and L the inductance. This expression holds true when, in the event of the occurrence of a fault, the DC component is superposed upon the fault current. And, given the phase relationship between the voltage E and the current I, and the values for the inductance L and the resistance R, the direction of and the distance to the location of the fault are obtainable. Moreover, by the same expression, the inductance L is obtainable as a result of comparison made between the polarities and between the magnitudes of E and dI/dt when I O, whereas the resistance R is obtainable from comparison made between the polarities and between the magnitudes of E and I when dI/dt O.
