under voltage relay is used to protect the electrical equipment from the low voltage below the rated voltage till 80% of the network potential.
u/v relay is used to give a signal to emergency generator to start whenever the system voltage drops below (80%).
U/V relay number is (27) which is available in most electrical circuits to protect the following circuits by insulating them whenever the low voltage occurs:
LV/MV switch boards.
Motor feeders
Generator Circuits
Transformer circuits
u/v relay is considered to be one of the main protective relays in electrical design.

∙ 8y agoWhat is the function of under voltage relay ?
A: One reason why Under Voltage breakers are used is to keep machinery from starting automatically when incoming power is restored after a power outage or after a significant drop in line voltage.
/
Operation:
There is an internal mechanical trigger within the breaker. This trigger requires very little force in order to trip the breaker.
/
There is also a spring loaded electromagnetic solenoid that is wired to the line side of the breaker, when incoming power is present the solenoid is retracted.
/
When line power is too low, or absent the spring loaded solenoid releases and strikes the mechanical trigger, this in turn trips the breaker.
/
Oddly enough, the voltage sensing is generally across only two of three phases on a three phase breaker, so there is the possibility of a single phase condition, if the unmonitored phase is lost.

∙ 13y agoA relay is a device used in electrical power systems for the sole purpose of protection. This could be protection for the various equipments connected to the power system or could be for the protection of the power system itself, from surges and the sort.
In that category, an undervoltage relay, as the name suggests, protects the power system (more specifically, a part of the system) from having a voltage lesser than the permissable value.
When the voltage on the line drops below a certain preset value, this relay sends the trip signal to the circuit breaker(s) to break the circuit until the fault gets cleared. This is its function.

What is the function of capacitor voltage transformer at the switch yard?
function of capacitive voltage transformer is measure high transmission voltage with low range voltmeter and oprate the relay circuit to oprate CBs.
What is the function of monitoring voltage relay?
A voltage monitor relay is in the circuit for one reason. It monitors the incoming voltage to the equipment that it is protecting usually on three phase control panels.The relay monitors the three incoming line voltages and in some relays the voltage to ground (wye connection). If the circuit the relay is protecting looses one of the voltage legs, the circuit will shut down until the problem is rectified. This usually happens if a fuse blows in one of the three phase voltage legs.It also monitors the level of voltage to the circuit. If the voltage drops due to a malfunction in the utility lines the relay will trip and take the protected circuit off line. The voltages can be set to trip at any under or over voltage usually by set point controls on the front of the voltage monitoring relay.
What is under-voltage tripping?
The Voltage of the power supply system is rated at its designed value. If this voltage goes down predetermined set value a under voltage relay can sense the change and then trips off the circuit.
Drop out voltage of a solid state relay?
Typically, when the coil voltage on a relay is decreased gradually, the relay "hold" will release at a certain voltage. This is usually defined as the Drop-out voltage (defined at some minimum value). Now, in the case of latching relay, the Drop-out voltage is called the Reset voltage.
Why metrosil is provided in differential protection?
under internal fault conditions , CT primary current produces steep insrease in voltage across the relay. This will exceed the burden 3kv normally designed as per. To get protected from the voltage, metrosil is connected across the relay , to drop the voltage.
What is Under voltage relay?
Under voltage relay provides a signal (Contacts) when the supplied voltage drops below a preset value.
How do you check the under voltage relay?
The way you check to see if an under voltage relay is wired properly is to disconnect the electrical supply. If the device that is connected to the load side of the relay does not start up or energize when the electrical supply is reconnected, then the relay is connected correctly.

Wire to electric fuel pump has low voltage?
if you have checked the voltage with a dvom then you need to verify that the power source at the fuel pump relay is correct, if it has the correct voltage pre-relay then your problem is post-relay. if the voltage is not correct pre-relay then simply trace and repair the power source. if the problem is post relay then check the output voltage directly at the relay, if voltage is good trace and repair line from relay to pump. if voltage is not correct then replace the fuel pump relay
What happens when a relay is operated beyond its rated voltage or current?
Generally speaking, a relay is an electrically operated switch. As such, there are two sets of ratings associated with a relay. The operating voltage will be specified, and the ratings of the contacts are also set down. As regards exceeding the operating voltage, this will cause excessive current to flow in the relay when it is energized. If the voltage is not significantly higher than the rating, and if the relay is not operated often or for long, it will function normally, but probably with a shorter life. At some point, excessive operating voltage will cause the coil in the relay to fail. Operating a relay to energize an electrical circuit with a higher voltage or current than the relay is designed for will shorten the life of the contacts in the relay. Higher voltage and current will quickly burn the contacts and destroy them. This is particularly true if that voltage or current is significantly higher than the ratings set by those who designed and constructed the relay. Things might work for a short time, but not for long.
