What is Protective Relaying? Protective Relaying is one of several features of the power system design that is concerned with minimizing damage to equipment and interruptions to service when electrical failures occur. • Primary Function: Cause the prompt removal of any element of a power system when it starts to operate in any abnormal manner • Secondary Function: Provide indication of the location and type of failure
Types of Protective Relays • Electromechanical • Solid State • Digital (Microprocessor)
Protective Relay Requirements • Measure Power System Voltage, Current, and Breaker Position • Detect Power System Fault • Short circuit via overcurrrent, current differential, impedance, undervoltage, etc. • Trip Breaker • Isolate fault portion of the power system • Communicate with Computer Systems • Communicate with Humans
Protective Relay Requirements • Dependable • Always operates for power system faults in the zone of protection • Secure • Does not operate during normal power system conditions or for faults outside the zone of protection • Fast • Detects and clears faults in milliseconds • Accurate • << 5% error over a wide range of fault conditions
