A protection signalling system whereby a signal initiated at one station trips a circuit-breaker at another station.

The way to detect if a shunt trip breaker is malfunctioning is to manually trip the breaker. The shunt is usually wired through a auxiliary relay. Make sure that before you trip the breaker that the load can be shut off without taking a production line etc. off line. Trip the auxiliary relay using a test jumper to activate the relays coil. The breaker's handle will move to mid throw and the load will disconnect from the supply power. If the breaker trips then it is working properly. If the breaker does not trip trouble shoot the circuitry that is used to trip the breaker. Usual problem is an open circuit.
This is a small electromagnet whose coil is in series with the relay contacts and whose contact is in parallel with them. The electromagnet is energized, closing its contacts in parallel with the relay contact as soon as the trip coil is energized, and drops out when the circuit breaker opens.
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.
Lock out Relay is the Master Trip relay( It is a latch relay once operated we have to reset it by manual) Which is used for Generator protection,Transformer protection,Turbine protection (Fixed in indoor Panel, Standard manufacturer only making those relays) if it operated because of any fault in above the after clearing all the fault we have to reset it by hand(normally available 110Volts or 220Volts DC).

The current required to trip a relay, known as the pickup current, varies depending on the relay's design and specifications. Typically, this value is specified in the relay's datasheet and can range from a few milliamperes to several amperes for different types of relays. Factors such as the relay's coil resistance and the intended application also influence the trip current. Always refer to the manufacturer's documentation for precise values.
Trip circuit supervision is defined as the protection equipment which monitors the continuity of the trip circuits of a circuit-breaker. The trip circuit supervision relay will monitor the proper functioning of trip circuits.

A local breaker backup relay is used to check the operation of distribution circuit breakers and to trip the feeder circuit breaker if the distribution circuit breaker fails to trip on an overload.
A shunt trip breaker is reset the same way as an ordinary breaker, move the handle to the full off position and then to the full on position. First check the tripping circuit, sometimes a latch relay is used to hold the breaker shunt trip coil in the trip position. If this is the case then reset the latch relay first.
A protection signalling system whereby a signal initiated at one station trips a circuit-breaker at another station.
Operating coil cut-off in a trip relay refers to the mechanism that interrupts the power supply to the relay's operating coil once the relay has actuated. This cut-off prevents the coil from overheating and ensures that the relay remains in its tripped state until it is manually reset or the fault condition is cleared. By removing power from the coil, the relay can maintain its position without continuous energy consumption, improving reliability and efficiency.
Bad ground? Bad relay?
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.
