According to one embodiment, a digital protection relay includes an auxiliary transformer (2) which decreases a voltage of an electrical signal from a main circuit transformer (1) to a predetermined voltage; a detection resistance circuit (20) including a -type or T-type circuit including an input connected to an output of the auxiliary transformer (2); an analog detection circuit (3) which is connected to an output of the detection resistance circuit (20) and detects a quantity of electricity of an electrical signal from the auxiliary transformer (2) ; an A/D conversion circuit (4) connected to the analog detection circuit (3); a central processing device 5 which is connected to the A/D conversion circuit (5) and performs a protection operation; and a trip output contact (9) which is closed by processing of the central processing device (5) and operates an external breaker (21). In the digital protection relay, an input contact terminal 11 for inputting a test signal with a constant voltage from an external test device (13) to the analog detection circuit (3) as a signal corresponding to an output of the auxiliary transformer (2) is provided between the detection resistance circuit (20) and the analog detection circuit (3).
