A digital decaying current offset correction method and apparatus, in one aspect, separates the requirements of detecting fault existence from the requirements of detecting fault location. Once the decaying offset removal routine is initiated, current and voltage are sampled and, for each current and voltage sample, current and voltage phasors are generated. The current phasor values, which are not offset corrected, may be used to determine whether to trip a breaker. Once the breaker is tripped, the decaying offsets are removed from the current phasors. The offset corrected current phasors are then used to locate the fault.
