The result of this is tocause one of the relays at the short-circuit to operate forwards and the otherone to operate backwards. Fig. 148 shows the effect of an inductive loadon the system. The short-circuit currents are shown by single prime vec-tors, and resultants of the short-circuit currents and load currents by double.
