  2. Protective relay - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protective_relay

    Distance relays are actually double actuating quantity relays with one coil energized by voltage and other coil by current. The current element produces a positive or pick up torque while the voltage element produces a negative or reset torque. The relay operates only when the V/I ratio falls below a predetermined value (or set value). During a ...

  3. Power system protection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_system_protection

    Power system protection is a branch of electrical power engineering that deals with the protection of electrical power systems from faults [citation needed] through the disconnection of faulted parts from the rest of the electrical network. The objective of a protection scheme is to keep the power system stable by isolating only the components ...

    21 - Distance Relay; 21G - Ground Distance; 21P - Phase Distance; 22 – Equalizer Circuit Breaker; 23 – Temperature control device, Heater; 24 – Volts per Hertz Relay (in some old analog applications, a 59 and an 81 device would be chained together as a 59/81 to implement the equivalent of V/Hz protection) 25 – Synchronizing or ...

  5. Numerical relay - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerical_relay

    Protective relay. In utility and industrial electric power transmission and distribution systems, a numerical relay is a computer-based system with software-based protection algorithms for the detection of electrical faults. [1] Such relays are also termed as microprocessor type protective relays.

  6. Relay - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relay

    A relay allows circuits to be switched by electrical equipment: for example, a timer circuit with a relay could switch power at a preset time. For many years relays were the standard method of controlling industrial electronic systems. A number of relays could be used together to carry out complex functions (relay logic). The principle of relay ...

  7. Arc suppression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arc_suppression

    An electronic power contact arc suppressor attached in parallel across the contact of a relay or contactor (Fig. 1 of issued patent U.S. 8,619,395 B2) The circuit diagram is part of an issued patent for an electronic power contact arc suppressor intended to protect the contacts of electrical relays or contactors. It suppresses arcs by providing ...

  8. Static relay - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Static_relay

    A power supply for the static relay circuits; For example, an overcurrent protective relay may have an AC to DC power supply for the input circuit, a level detector circuit and an RC time delay circuit. [1] While early comparators used discrete transistor circuits, modern designs use operational amplifiers.

  9. Current limiting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Current_limiting

    A switched-mode power supply operating at the current limit with the output short-circuited does not have increased power dissipation in the power transistor(s), so foldback current limiting is an application feature only rather than one that also prevents a load fault from also destroying the power supply. The safety benefit of reducing the ...
