Abstract
The electrical networks of voltage 0,4 kilovolt are the most widespread ones, they are used at all industrial and agricultural enterprises, power stations and substations. Fail-safe operation of enterprises depends to a large extent on these networks. A problem of remote reservation of failures of guards and cutout switches has always been very acute in the networks of 0,4 kilovolt. Due to a very substantial reduction of values of short-circuit currents as the distance between a point of fault and power supplies increases, it was not possible to carry out this reservation by the same traditional methods as in high-voltage power networks. This problem has been found possible to be solved only in recent years when digital technology began to be used for protection of electrical networks.
