If the current is higher than the threshold (i.e., a fault current is detected), then the relay operates by sending a signal to the Circuit Breaker (CB) to open the circuit (trip) and disconnect the faulted
Read MoreHome / Relay protection output signals belong to
either an open (or OFF) signal if the relay is not to trip or a close (or ON) signal if the relay is to trip. They are intended to quickly identify a fault and isolate it so the balance of the system continue to run under normal conditions. For example, unselective protection operation during a medium voltage network fault will cause an outage for an unnecessarily large number of consumers. Types of Protective Relays: Protective relays are categorized by their mechanism (electromagnetic, static, mechanical) and function.
If the current is higher than the threshold (i.e., a fault current is detected), then the relay operates by sending a signal to the Circuit Breaker (CB) to open the circuit (trip) and disconnect the faulted
