Figure 1.1-2(b) exemplifies that both the forward line and the busbar are protected using
a CT. Once a fault occurs between the CT and the CB
(N)
, the relay Ry
(S)
for the forward line can
operate, but the relay Ry
(X)
for the busbar may fail to operate to clear the fault. That is, we
should keep in mind that a blind spot never exits in the power system for designing the
protection.

(ii) Speediness
As mentioned earlier, shortening the fault duration is realized by the speedy operation of the
relay; it is achieved by the high speed signal processing module. However, we have to note that
the operating time of the CB is slower comparted with the one of the processing module.
Additionally, the propagation delay of the communion should also be considered when the
carrier command protection function is considered for the protection.
