Directional relays are advanced protective devices capable of distinguishing the direction of current flow in an electrical system. Unlike traditional relays that respond solely to the magnitude of current, directional relays operate based. Its primary function is to detect abnormal conditions, such as faults, overloads, or imbalances, and then initiate a c. If the difference exceeds the pickup value of the relay, it operates to trip the breakers to isolate the element.
Because the protection areas of the interlocking-based protection concept are not overlapping and because they do not reach into the protection area of the next relays in the protection chain, a
