A typical protective relay circuit is shown below: Protective Relay Circuit Diagram The first part of the circuit consists of the primary winding of a CT. A relay is a four-terminal electrical switch, used to control any electrical circuit with an independent low-power signal and also to control various electrical circuits with a single signal. The terminals of the relay mainly include; common, coil, NO (normally open) & NC (normally closed). It functions as a watchdog by constantly surveying multiple system components including voltage, current, frequency, and phase angle. During a fault condition, there is a change. Protective relays and devices have been developed over 100 years ago to provide “lastline”of defense for the electrical systems.

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.

These numerical codes, ranging from 1 to 99, uniquely identify the functions of protective relays, associated devices, and control equipment in electrical power systems. In electric power systems and industrial automation, ANSI Device Numbers can be used to identify equipment and devices in a system such as relays, circuit breakers, or instruments. The device numbers are enumerated in ANSI / IEEE Standard C37. 2 Standard for Electrical Power System Device Function. According to the ANSI/IEEE standards, device function numbers are crucial identifiers in power system protection and control engineering. ANSI IEEE Standard Device Numbers are below: (the more commonly used ones are in bold) 86T is a Lockout Relay for a. The widely used United Sates standard ANSI/IEEE C37. Even in those parts of the world where IEC standards are predominate, the use of ANSI numbering. For power grid systems, ANSI and IEEE functional number codes dictate the use and restrictions of both the devices themselves, as well as the functions of those devices within the scope of a circuit. These devices include switches, disconnects, circuit breakers, generators, and motors. Instead of verbal descriptions, we use numbers to describe the functions of a relay. Why use numbers instead of words? Efficiency.

Distance relays, also known as impedance relay, differ in principle from other forms of protection in that their performance is not governed by the magnitude of the current or voltage in the protected circuit but rather on the ratio of these two quantities.OverviewIn, a protective relay is a device designed to trip a when a is detected. The first protective relays were electromagnetic devices, relying on coils operating on moving par. Electromechanical protective relays operate by either, or. Unlike switching type electromechanical with fixed and usually ill-defined operating voltage thresholds. Electromechanical relays can be classified into several different types as follows: "Armature"-type relays have a pivoted lever supported on a hinge or knife-edge pivot, which carries a moving contact. These relays may.
