'Overcurrent protection' is a means of protecting a cable and its load from damage due to an overcurrent. An 'overcurrent' is defined as either an 'overload current' (due to an excessive load) or a 'short-circuit current'. In its simplest form, overcurrent protection is provided by means of a fuse, but it can also be provided by means of a circuit breaker. In the case of high-voltage systems, the circuit breaker is tripped by the operation of one or more overcurrent protection relays which monitor the circuit using current Transformers.

Can a numerical relay give protevtion to over current over voltage and short circuit current at the same time?

Yes. Most microprocessor based relays that have both voltage and current inputs can provide overcurrent and over voltage protection simultaneously. Short circuit current is the same as overcurrent.
