The relay protection has two sets of protection
Primary relay or primary protection relay is the first line of power system protection whereas backup relay is operated only when primary relay fails to be operated during a fault. 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. Definite time delay means that the protection operate time dose not change or depend on the. Its main purpose is to safeguard electrical equipment like transformers, generators, and transmission lines from damage due to. It functions as a watchdog by constantly surveying multiple system components including voltage, current, frequency, and phase angle.
