Functions of relay protection operating circuits

Home / Functions of relay protection operating circuits

A protective relay operates by continuously monitoring electrical parameters, detecting abnormalities, making decisions, and triggering circuit breakers to isolate faulty sections. Protective relays and devices have been developed over 100 years ago to provide "lastline"of defense for the electrical systems. They are intended to quickly identify a fault and isolate it so the balance of the system continue to run under normal conditions. An electrically operated switch like a relay plays a key role in controlling an electrical circuit through an independent low-power signal, otherwise used where a number of circuits should be controlled through the single signal.
