The article discusses the application of the method of delays in electric power networks and the possibility of its further improvement in order to reduce the number of calculations and simplify the hardware implementation.To do this, conducted a study on the impact of the delay signal measurement result. The result of the study is to select the optimal delay time. The model proposed in MatLab Simulink program and a study of measurement error as the frequency of mains voltage.
