Read MoreHome / Stage principle in relay protection
The principle is to grade the operating times of the relays in such a way that the relay closest to the fault spot operates first. Protective relays and devices have been developed over 100 years ago to provide "lastline"of defense for the electrical systems. This protection relay configuration consists of three distinct stages: Instantaneous Overcurrent Protection (Stage I), Time-Limited.
