Types of Protective Relays

A protective relay is a device that detects the fault and initiates the operation of the circuit breaker to isolate the defective element from the rest of the system.

Fundamentals of Relay Protection Design

Coordination ensures that the relay closest to the fault operates first to isolate the defective section while allowing other relays to remain inactive if the fault lies beyond their protection

Protective Relay Basics

Traditionally, protective relays were electromechanical devices utilizing induction disk, coils, contacts, and solenoid elements to determine protective characteristics.
