What is defrential protection relay?
I am going to assume that you are asking about a differential relay. It is basically just that- it compare two different sources and will trip at a set value value of the difference. These can be directional as well. A couple of examples are transformer protective relays and bus differential. A transformer relay will measure the amount of current coming into the transformer and the amount of current going out. If there is a disparity due to an internal fault the relay will trip the supply source and deenergize the transformer. Same for the Bus differential.
How overload relay works?
An overload relay is fundamentally a board that protects the relay from overloads. It works on the science of being an AC inductor..
What is operating coil of differential relay?
My understanding is that on most (if not all) differential relays, there are currents coming in from both sides of the operating coil. These currents should cancel out, or in reality, nearly cancel out. Therefore, the effective current in the operating coil is zero. When the net current in the operating coil is not zero, the relay trips. There are instances when you don't want the relay to trip though. Therefore, the operating coil works together with a restraint coil. (Well probably 2 restraint coils.) The relay will trip if the operating coil's current must exceed the restraint coil's current by a certain amount.
What is relay coil?
An electrical device, typically incorporating an electromagnet, which is activated by a current or signal in one circuit to open or close another circuit.Based on Characteristic the protection relay can be categorized as-Definite time relaysInverse time relays with definite minimum time(IDMT)Instantaneous relays.IDMT with inst.Stepped characteristic.Programmed switches.Voltage restraint over current relay.Based on of logic the protection relay can be categorized as-Differential.Unbalance.Neutral displacement.Directional.Restricted earth fault.Over fluxing.Distance schemes.Bus bar protection.Reverse power relays.Loss of excitation.Negative phase sequence relays etc.Based on actuating parameter the protection relay can be categorized as-Current relays.Voltage relays.Frequency relays.Power relays etc.Based on application the protection relay can be categorized as-Primary relay.Backup relay.Primary relay or primary protection relay is the first line of power system protection whereas backup relay is operated only when primary relay fails to be operated during fault. Hence backup relay is slower in action than primary relay. Any relay may fail to be operated due to any of the following reasons,The protective relay itself is defective.DC Trip voltage supply to the relay is unavailable.Trip lead from relay panel to circuit breaker is disconnected.Trip coil in the circuit breaker is disconnected or defective.Current or voltage signals from CT or PT respectively is unavailable.As because backup relay operates only when primary relay fails, backup protection relay should not have anything common with primary protection relay.Some examples of Mechanical Relay are-Thermal(a) OT trip (Oil Temperature Trip) (b) WT trip (Winding Temperature Trip) (C) Bearing temp trip etc.(a) Buchholz (b) OSR (c) PRV (d) Water level Controls etc.Float typePressure switches.Mechanical interlocks.Pole discrepancy relay.
Will starting current on a motor trip a gfci breaker?
A GFCI measures difference in output to return current. A Overload breaker in your panel is what trips from too much current. many are time delay and will not trip immediately from the less than a second of start up current spike.
How moeller's overload relay works?
Moeller's overload relay works by monitoring the current flowing through a motor. If the current exceeds a set value for a period of time, the relay will trip and disconnect power to the motor, protecting it from damage due to overheating. This helps prevent the motor from drawing too much current for an extended period, which could be harmful.
What is DTOC relay?
A definite time over-current relay operates like an instantaneous over-current relay coupled with a timer. Once current reaches the pick-up value, it initiates the timing circuit. As long as current stays above this pick-up value, the timer will continue to time. Once the definite time setting is reached, the relay gives trip signal to the circuit breaker.
Function of earth fault relay?
An "earth fault relay" is a bit ambiguous. A relay used in the power system to detect neutral or ground faults measure the vector difference of the three phase power, or measure the neutral current directly. If current is above a set trip point, the relay will operate. If you are referring to GFCI's, they effectively measure the current flowing in and the current flowing out on the two "hot" wires, and if these do not cancel each other out, then the GFCI will trip. This is because if current in does not equal current out, then some current must be flowing out a different way (to ground!).
Dear all what direct consequences can be from Current transformer on generator with respect to differential protection relay?
CT's are used as inputs to the differential. If the CT is bad, or it is not wired to the differential correctly, it will cause differential current to be seen by the relay, resulting in a trip.

How is a IDMT relay used to give protection against a phase to earth fault a phase to phase fault on a feeder?
As with any IDMT relay the higher the fault current the quicker the trip time.

How do you test over current relay?
Normally the Over current relay is connected using a suitable CT (Current Transformer). Say the CT ratio is 100/5 Amps. (secondary is normally 5 or 1 amps). 100 Amps in the primary induces 5 amps in secondary which flows through over current relay circuit. Secondary current is proportional to the primary current. To test the OCR , inject the current into relay circuit ranging from 0 to 5 amps in steps (which represents upto full load current on primary). Relay will operate accordingly operate the trip contacts. These relays are normally with a time factor setting as well.
What is the theory behind a definite time overcurrent relay?
A definite time overcurrent relay operates like an instantaneous overcurrent relay coupled with a timer. once current reaches the pickup value, the relay overcurrent relay will trip, which initiates the timing circuit. as long as current stays above this pickup value, the timer will continue to time. Once the definite time setting is reached, the timer will close the relay tripping contacts.
Why the burden of a relay has to be determined?
The burden of a relay is given in Ohms or VA and power factor. It is needed to find the accuracy of the current transformer circuit and thus to determine when the protective relay will trip. It is mostly interesting given high fault currents and inaccuracy of measurements.
