The scheme of rapid protection will be possibly implemented by using the channel of communication, as the communication network of distribution power system being increasingly perfect and particular foundation of optical cable. The feeder protection based on communication can quickly and selectively isolate fault section and restructure the distribution network. This method is the direction of distribution automation. The action principles of feeder protection using blocking and allowing signals of directional over-current are analyzed. The directional over-current protection utilizing blocking signals is suitablefor distribution automation. The scheme can locate the fault section and instantly separate it. When feeder terminal unit (FTU) fails to act or communicate is interrupted, the feeder protection in the substation can backup.
