Directionalized relays are relays that use a polarizing circuit to determine which "direction" (in the zone of protection, or out of the zone protection) a fault is. There are many different types and different polarizing methods - ground polarizing, voltage polarizing, zero sequence voltage polarizing, negative sequence polarizing, etc.

The basic operation of this relay is just like any nondirectional relay, but with an added torque control - the directionalizing element. This element allows the relay to operate when it is satisfied that the fault is within the zone of protection (ie not behind where the relay is looking).

What is difference between reverse power relay and directional relay in electrical protection?

A reverse power relay is a directional overcurrent relay. Directional relays are relays that sense power flow in one direction, and include (directional) overcurrent relays, reverse power, and impedance based relays. So a reverse power relay is a directional relay, but a directional relay is not necessarily a reverse power relay.


What are the directional characteristics of an over current relay?

Directional relay opeartes +/- 90degree of MTA (maxumum torque angle). Relay is set either forward or reverse depending on the direction of current flow. 180 degree to MTA is always restraint region. Some relay has chareteristic of +/- 85 degree to MTA.


Is feeder protection relay and ring main unit protection relay same?

What is the difference between directional and non directional over current protection?

The directional part. Directional relays will operate for events "in front of" them, but will not operate for events "behind" them. Typically directional relays are used in non radial situations such as on the bulk electric system. Non-directional overcurrents are commonly used on radial lines.

differential protection relay


Non-directional over current relay?

The synchronous generator when act as a motor that relay is operated. or reverse power relay is acted. mainly it sence thet direction of power flow direction


Would a bad blinker relay wont let start the car?

No, the flasher relay has nothing to do with starting the vehicle. It only controls the flash of the directional lights.

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.
