 Numerical Relays,
 Comparison between Electromechanical Relays and Numerical
Relays.
 Overcurrent Protection:
 Introduction,
 Time – current Characteristics,
 Current Setting,
Objective of power system protection
 To isolate a fault section of electrical power system
from the rest of the live system so that rest portion
can function satisfactorily without any severer
damage due to fault current.
 What Components (Equipment) Do We Protect?
•Generators
•Transformers
•Lines
•Buses
•Capacitors
Protective system elements
 Fuses
 Circuit breakers
 Relays
 CTs &PTs
An electrical power system consists of generators,
transformers, transmission and distribution lines, etc.
Short circuits and other abnormal conditions often
occur on a power system. The heavy current associated
with short circuits is likely to cause damage to
equipment if suitable protective relays and circuit
breakers are not provided for the protection of each
section of the power system. Short circuits are usually
called faults by power engineers. Strictly speaking, the
term fault simply means a defect. Some defects, other
than short circuits, are also termed as faults. For
example, the failure of conducting path due to a break in
a conductor is a type of fault.
NEED FOR PROTECTIVE SCHEMES
Effects of faults
 Heavy short circuit current may damage to equipment or
any other element due to over heating and high
mechanical force set up due to heavy current.
 Area associated with short circuit may cause fire hazards.
 There may be reduction in the supply voltage of the
healthy feeders, resulting in the loss of industrial loads.
 Short circuit may cause the unbalancing of supply
voltages and currents ,thereby heating rotating
machines.
 There may be loss of system stability.
 Loss of revenue.
Primary &back-up protection
There are three types of back-up protection
Remote backup
Relay backup
Breaker backup
Performance of protective relay
 Correct operation
 Incorrect operation
 No conclusion
BASED ON SPEED OF OPERATION
Instantaneous Relay
Time Delay Relay
High Speed Relay
Ultra High Speed Relay
Over Current Protection
Distance Protection
Carrier Current Protection
Differential Protection

Principles
Electromechanical Relays
 A relay is an electromechanical device having
electrical, magnetic and mechanical components.
The relays control the electric circuit by opening or
closing the contacts of that circuit. An
electromechanical relay consists of three terminals
namely common (COM), normally closed (NC) and
normally opened (NO) contacts. These can either get
opened or closed when the relay is in operation.
These relays can work on both AC and DC supply
sources.
