METHOD AND DEVICE FOR PROTECTING A POWER GRID

A method for protecting a power grid from an electrical fault, the electrical fault generating a first signal type and a second signal type, the power grid including an electrical power supply and an electrical device between which a contactor is arranged, the contactor being positionable in two states an open state, for which the electrical power supply is not electrically connected to the electrical device; a closed state, for which the electrical power supply is electrically connected to the electrical device; the method including detecting a signal of the first type; placing the contactor in the open state; verifying, during a predetermined time period, whether a signal of the second type appears; if a signal of the second type appears during the period, keeping the contactor in the open state; when no signal of the second type appears during the period, placing the contactor in the closed state.
