Overcurrent Relay Characteristics: The operating time of all Overcurrent Relay Characteristics tends to become asymptotic to a definite minimum value with increase in the value of current. This is inherent in electromagnetic relays due to…
General Equation for Electromagnetic Relay: It has already been shown that when not more than two quantities are involved, the equation for the characteristic of the relay at the threshold of operation under steady state…
Comparator Equation in Power System Protection: Comparator Equation in Power System Protection - Taking a very general case to cover the complete range of conventional relay characteristics, let S1 and S2 be the two input signals…
Relay Design and Construction: The Relay Design and Construction is normally divided into the following stages: Selection of the operating characteristics. Selection of proper construction. Design of the contact movement from the point of view…
Induction Relay Torque Equation: In Induction Relay Torque Equation, Two magnetic fluxes Φ1 and Φ2 differing in time phase penetrate through a disc. These alternating fluxes induce emfs e1 and e2 in the disc which lag their…
Types of Electromagnetic Relays: There are two principal Types of Electromagnetic Relays: Attracted armature type; and Induction type. (a) Attracted Armature Type: This includes plunger, hinged armature, balanced beam and moving iron polarized relays. These…
Relay Classification in Power System Protection: There are various types of Relay Classification in Power System Protection. Normally the actuating quantity is an electrical signal, although sometimes the actuating quantity may be pressure or temperature.…
Components of Protection System: Some of the more commonly used Components of Protection System are Relays Circuit Breakers Tripping and Other Auxiliary Supplies Current Transformer (CT) Voltage Transformers (VT) Linear Coupler Relays: The main function…
Derivation of Single Phase Quantity from Three Phase System: It will be seen later that auxiliary channels or pilot wires are used to transmit information from one end of the line to the other end.…
Methods of Discrimination in Power System Protection: Methods of Discrimination in Power System Protection are basically of two types: those which discriminate as to the location of fault, and those which discriminate as to the…
