over current protection relay
A Fuse or a circuit breaker can be used to protect an electric circuit from over loads. A surge arrestor / over voltage relay can be provided for voltage protection An ELCB/ Earth fault Relay may be provided for earth fault protection. Electrix Chennai, India.
The voltage-restrained overcurrent relay adjusts the pickup setting and characteristic curve of the overcurrent function based on the system voltage. The relay is set pickup greater than overload, and sensitivity increases as the voltage drops. The voltage-controlled overcurrent relay uses an undervoltage element to supervise the operation of the overcurrent element. When the voltage drops below a predetermined level, the undervoltage element permits the operation of the time overcurrent units. Voltage-restrained overcurrent relays can provide faster backup protection than voltagecontrolled overcurrent relays, particularly in cases where the generator voltage does not drop significantly below rated voltage during fault conditions. If the generator voltage always drops below a given voltage level for all faults in which operation is required, the voltage-controlled overcurrent unit may be set to provide faster overall clearing speed
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.
to be protect the motor and electrical equipments.some circuit provide to protect the motor.for exm.DOL starter, OLR to protect the motors....
These relay sense the Negative Sequence Voltage components of system supply & offers protection against Phase Failure, Phase Sequence Reversal with Under/Over Voltage conditions which are dangerous to motor winding and cause motor burnouts.
current relay are using for over current low state & high state.but potential relay are related to voltage.
Actually safety devices of generator depends on the type of prime mover used in generator. The main safety devices in a DG Set is to control the over speed, to limit the fuel supply in case of emergency. It is regulated by the governor of the DG Sets. In external safety, over voltage & over current tripping relay i.e. associated with DG Sets control panel.
The use of over load relays in circuits is to protect the circuit against over heating .
bad alternator/voltage regualtor
For what? Both exist, and are used often.
A protective device that operates when voltage exceeds nominal by some set amount. These are often coupled with a timer.
