The oscillation in the apparent power and bus voltages is seen by the relay as an impedance swing on the R-X plane. If the impedance trajectory enters a relay zone and if stays there for sufficiently long time, then the relay will issue a trip decision on power. ays cope with power swing conditions on the power system. It discusses different methods of detecting power swings and the best method to separate the system to maintain stability and avoid a m s and is necessary for the stability of the power system. Circuit Breakers (CBs), as well as Voltage and Current.

Presented at the 12th Annual Clemson University Power Systems Conference. An unstable power swing results in a generator or group of generators experiencing pole slipping or loss-of-synchronism for which some corrective action must be taken.
