Large internal faults are protected by_______________?

Correct answer: A. merz price percentage differential protection

  • A. merz price percentage differential protection
  • B. mho and ohm relays
  • C. horn gaps and temperature relays
  • D. earth fault and positive sequence relays

Explanation

Merz-Price percentage differential protection compares currents entering and leaving the protected zone, so an internal fault produces a differential current and rapid tripping. Mho and ohm relays are mainly distance-protection relays for transmission lines.
