2. 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 ...

3. Protective relay - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protective_relay

   The relays are in round glass cases. The rectangular devices are test connection blocks, used for testing and isolation of instrument transformer circuits. In electrical engineering, a protective relay is a relay device designed to trip a circuit breaker when a fault is detected. [1]: 4 The first protective relays were electromagnetic devices ...

4. Solid-state relay - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid-state_relay

   Solid-state relay. A solid state relay (SSR) is an electronic switching device that switches on or off when an external voltage (AC or DC) is applied across its control terminals. They serve the same function as an electromechanical relay, but solid-state electronics contain no moving parts and have a longer operational lifetime.

5. Power system protection - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_system_protection

   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 ...

6. Relay logic - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relay_logic

   A relay logic circuit is an electrical network consisting of lines, or rungs, in which each line or rung must have continuity to enable the output device. A typical circuit consists of a number of rungs, with each rung controlling an output. This output is controlled by a combination of input or output conditions, such as input switches and ...

7. 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. They are functional replacements for electro ...
