Home / Relay protection safety levels are divided into

Like IEC61508, it stipulates Safety Integrity Levels (SIL) that can be divided into 3 levels within the machinery field: SIL1, SIL2, SIL3. ISO13849 defines the use of Performance Levels (PL) to evaluate a complete safety system or safety-related components. Abstract: Protective relays and devices have been developed over 100 years ago to provide "lastline"of defense for the electrical systems. Selectivity is a mandatory requirement for all protection, but the importance of it depends on the application. For example, unselective protection operation during a medium voltage network fault will cause an outage for an unnecessarily large number of consumers. Electromechanical relays can be classified into several different types as follows: "Armature"-type relays have a pivoted lever supported on a hingeor knife-edge pivot, which carries a moving contact.

Basic protection relay knowledge

Definite time delay means that the protection operate time dose not change or depend on the fault type or the fault current magnitude. Inverse time delay, on the other hand, depends on the current

Impedance relays are used whenever overcurrent relays do not provide adequate protection. This section pro-vides exercises about how to use impedance (distance) relays to protect a power network.
