A sampling frequency control method comprising the steps of:
- calculating, with a CPU, a ratio K of an effective value of a difference between sampled values obtained through sampling of AC quantity of electricity at time points that are separated by a prescribed time period to an effective value of the AC quantity of electricity of a power system, wherein the prescribed time period relates to a sampling period which is shorter than a period of the AC quantity of electricity and corresponds to a prescribed electrical angle;
- and
- controlling a sampling frequency by controlling the sampling period on the basis of the calculated ratio K so that it follows a frequency of the AC quantity of electricity.
A protective relay which protects a rower system from a system abnormality on the basis of sampled values obtained by sampling an AC quantity of electricity of the rower system at a prescribed sampling frequency, wherein the sampling frequency is controlled by controlling a sampling period by the sampling frequency control method comprising the steps of:
- calculating, with a CPU, a ratio K of an effective value of a difference between sampled values obtained through sampling of an AC quantity of electricity at time points that are separated by a prescribed time period to an effective value of the AC quantity of electricity of a power system, wherein the prescribed time period relates to a sampling period which is shorter than a period of the AC quantity of electricity and corresponds to a prescribed electrical angle;
- and
- controlling a sampling frequency by controlling the sampling period on the basis of the calculated ratio K so that it follows a frequency of the AC quantity of electricity,
- wherein controlling the sampling frequency is performed according to the sampling frequency control method if the power system is normal, and, if an abnormality has occurred in the power system, the sampling frequency control according to the sampling frequency control method is stopped and the AC quantity of electricity is sampled at a sampling frequency that was employed before the occurrence of the abnormality.
