There is disclosed a protection system for a power distribution system having a plurality of breakers arranged in a hierarchy. The protection system has a network and a breaker coupled to the power distribution system. A module is coupled to the network and the breaker is at a first level in the hierarchy. The module samples an electrical condition of the power distribution system at the breaker and monitors the electrical condition for a predetermined trip condition. The module, upon detection of the predetermined trip condition, trips said breaker if the first level is a lowest level of the hierarchy, but monitors the network for a notification message if the first level is not the lowest level of the hierarchy.

The invention claimed is: 1. A protection system for a power distribution system having a plurality of breakers arranged in a hierarchy, the protection system comprising: a network; a first breaker of said plurality of breakers coupled to the power distribution system; a first module coupled to said network and said first breaker at a first level in the hierarchy, said first module sampling an electrical condition of the power distribution system at said first breaker and monitoring said first electrical condition for a predetermined trip condition; a synch controller coupled to said network, said synch controller broadcasting a time synchronization message to all modules coupled to said network, wherein said first module, upon detection of said predetermined trip condition and receipt of said time synchronization message within a predetermined period of time, trips said first breaker if said first level is a lowest level of the hierarchy, but monitors said network for a first notification message if said first level is not said lowest level of the hierarchy, and wherein said first module, upon detection of said predetermined trip condition and failure to receive said time synchronization message within said predetermined period of time, trips said first breaker regardless of said first level. 2. The protection system of claim 1, wherein said first notification message is generated by a second module. 3. The protection system of claim 2, wherein if a second breaker coupled to said second module is at higher level of the hierarchy than said first breaker coupled to said first module and if said first module detects said first notification message, said first module trips said first breaker. 4. The protection system of claim 3, wherein said first module generates a trip message after said first module trips said first breaker. 5. The protection system of claim 1, wherein said first module, upon detecting said predetermined trip condition, generates a second notification of trip condition message for said network. 6. The protection system of claim 2, wherein if said second breaker is at a lower level of the hierarchy than said first breaker, said first module monitors for a third notification of trip condition message from said network. 7. The protection system of claim 6, wherein said first module monitors for said third notification of trip condition during a first time interval. 8. The protection system of claim 7, wherein said first module places a trip message on said first network and trips said first breaker if a trip condition is detected at an expiration of said first time interval. 9. The protection system of claim 7, wherein said first module extends said first time interval to a second time interval if said third notification of trip condition message is received during said first time interval. 10. The protection system of claim 9, wherein said first module places a trip message on said first network and trips said first breaker if a trip condition is detected at an expiration of said second time interval. 11. A method for protecting a power distribution system having a plurality of breakers arranged in a hierarchy, comprising: sampling an electrical condition of the power distribution system at a first breaker of the plurality of breakers by a first module; detecting a trip condition by said first module based on said electrical condition; detecting receipt of a time synchronization message by said first module within a predetermined period of time; and determining whether a level of said first breaker is a lowest level in the hierarchy, if receipt of said time synchronization message within said predetermined period of time is detected, then tripping said first breaker by said first breaker if said level is the lowest level or monitoring for a notification message if said level is not the lowest level, and if receipt of said time synchronization message within said predetermined period of time is not detected, then tripping said first breaker by said first breaker regardless of said level. 12. The method of claim 11, further comprising generating said notification of trip condition message by a second module. 13. The method of claim 11, further comprising transmitting a second notification message on a network by said first module if a trip condition is detected. 14. The method of claim 11, further comprising: employing a current differentiator to compare a plurality of breaker currents which source or feed current to a common power bus or device in the power distribution hierarchy; and determining when a vector summation of said currents of said plurality of breakers do not match. 15. The method of claim 14, further comprising generating a phaselet as a function of said sampling of said electrical condition. 16. The method of claim 15, further comprising tripping at a main breaker in the hierarchy of breakers. 17. The method of claim 15, further comprising employing phaselet information for a communication of a breaker current from a first breaker to a second breaker over a network. 18. The method of claim 17, wherein said communication is a sub-cycle communication. 19. The method of claim 14, further comprising operating a designated source breaker when currents of said plurality of breakers do not match.
