Electrical protection refers to the sense and command protective relay features provided to control the interruption of electrical service resulting from mechanical or electrical failures or other unacceptable conditions. Electrical Protection includes short circuit and overload protection provided by molded case circuit breakers and fuses, as well as relays. Relay protection is a collection of protective relay devices and systems which monitor the electrical characteristics of equipment and/or power distribution systems to assure power systems and equipment operation remain within predetermined limits. The protective devices initiate the removal from service of any piece of equipment and/or power system which is subjected to an abnormal operating condition exceeding preset limits.

How relay used for protection purpose?

Relay are operated by small current /voltage connected to Secondary side of Current Transformer and /or Voltage Transformer. The signal stimulates the magnetic substance nearby with the attracting force. This closes or opens the circuit being used in protection purpose.

What is the purpose of overload relay?

MK-1 relays protect a motor by sensing the current going to the motor. Many of these use small heaters, often bi-metallic elements that bend when warmed by the current to the motor. When current is too high for too long, heaters open the relay contacts carrying current to the coil of the contactor.


What is plug setting multiplier of relay?

the actual r.m.s current flowing in the relay expressed as a multiple of the setting current (pick up current) is known as plug setting multiplier.mathematically ,PSM= SECONDARY CURRENT/RELAY CURRENT SETTINGorPSM= (primary current during fault)/(relay current setting *C.T ratio)

What is the marking 5A 250VAC24VDC on a relay means?

The switching circuit is 24 Volts DC which connects a circuit of 250 Volts AC with a limit of 5A current. Note: This is presumption based on how a relay works and its purpose.


What is the purpose of the diode inside the relay?

If it is a light emitting diode it is there to let you know that the relay is energized. In my experience, when a DC current is removed from a coil, the polarity of the magnetic field reverses and if it weren't for the diode, the relay would "chatter". The diode polarity is oppsite of the actuating voltage.


How does an over current relay work?

An over current relay will operate when current exceeds its design rating. This application is intended protect loads or circuits from excessive current.
