Such protection relays are known as “distance protection relays” and only function in case of faults that occur between the location of the protection relay and the chosen reach point. Therefore, they provide discrimination for short circuits that may occur in different line. These relays are called as distance protection relays. Other types of impedance relays are e.

[pdf] Directional relays are protective devices that isolate faults in power systems by detecting the direction of fault currents. In other words, it doesn't trip for every high current it sees – only if the fault lies within its protected zone. This selectivity is. Directional protection is used for all network components in which the direction of flow of power could change, for example for the short circuit between phases or for an earthing fault (single phase fault): Earth fault directional protection is sensitive to the direction of flow of the current to.
[pdf] With an isolated voltage of 5000 VAC and mechanical operating cycle in the region of millions the high voltage relay is particularly well suited for difficult conditions. The switching current averages at 10 AAC, the continuous current at 30 AAC. High voltage relays are used in many technical devices that require voltages that go up to 10,000 V and currents up to 30 A. High voltage relays offer low and stable contact. Protection engineers calculate the maximum load current, the minimum fault current, and the full range of possible voltage levels to ensure relay performance under all conditions., single line-to-ground. hen interrupting heavy-duty motor currents. It is important to understand that a relay's current rating depends on the switching voltage and the type of load.
[pdf] The various protective functions available on a given relay are denoted by standard. For example, a relay including function 51 would be a timed overcurrent protective relay. An overcurrent relay is a type of protective relay which operates when the load current exceeds a pickup value. It is of two types: instantaneous over current (IOC) relay and definite time overcurrent (DTOC) relay.
