One common method (used for more than just differential relays) is to have a contact in series with one of the breaker trip coils, with this arrangement connected to a battery or AC power source. When the relay trips, the contact closes and current is allowed to flow through the trip coil, tripping the breaker.
Some relays are self powered, and will use a capacitor to provide the current to the coil instead of a battery bank or AC power source.
Differential relays often indirectly trip the associated breakers through a lockout relay. The differential relay trips the lockout, which has many contacts that close, tripping multiple breakers.
What else can I help you with?
Function of dc battery at substation?
Batteries are essential components in a substation. They provide the (tripping) current by which protective relays can trip high-voltage circuit breakers in the event of a fault. This means that the circuit breakers can trip even if the substation itself has lost its ancillary AC power supply.
What are switches in a circuit box called?
Generally relays or contactors If you are talking about an electric panel in your house, they are called breakers.
What is the function of an LBB relay?
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.
What happens when two circuit breakers are parallel?
There are 3 cases in C.B. paralleling: 1. Both Circuit breakers of same current ratings with same time settings. 2. Both circuit breakers of different current ratings 3. Both Circuit breakers of same current ratings with different time settings. Case1: Any of the C.B.trips (depending on CT characteristics as no two CTs' can have same characteristics) Case 2. The one with lower current ratings would trip first. Case 3: The one with lower time settings would trip earlier.
Circuit breakers can be reset and used again?
Yes. In most cases, yes. If the circuit breaker continues to trip when there is no fault in the circuit, it may be failing and need to be replaced.

What is the function of Batteries in the substation?

This means that the circuit breakers can trip even if the substation itself has lost its ancillary AC power supply.
Why do circuit breakers trip?
Circuit breakers trip to protect the electrical system from overheating and potential fires caused by an overload of current flowing through the circuit.
Is there a relay switch or circuit breaker on a 94 sts?
There are multiple relays and circuit breakers in that vehicle.
What causes circuit breakers to trip?
Circuit breakers trip when there is an overload of electrical current flowing through the circuit, which can happen due to too many devices being plugged in, a short circuit, or a ground fault.
Does current or resistance cause breakers to trip?
Excessive current is what causes circuit breakers to trip. When the current in a circuit exceeds the rating of the breaker, it trips to prevent overheating and potential fire hazards. Resistance itself does not cause breakers to trip, but it influences the amount of current flowing in a circuit.
What do ground fault relays do?
Ground fault relays sense ground faults in the circuit and trigger a circuit breaker to trip off
What are switches in a circuit box called?

Why do circuit breakers trip and how can they be reset to restore power?
Circuit breakers trip to protect the electrical system from overload or short circuits. To reset a tripped circuit breaker and restore power, locate the breaker in the electrical panel, switch it to the "off" position, then back to the "on" position.
How do you connect current transfomer and voltage transformer in switch gear?
Current and voltage transformers are not 'connected in' switch gear. These instrument transformers are used to monitor the currents and voltages in a high-voltage system, in order to operate protective relays. In the event of electrical faults, it is these protective relays that act to trip the appropriate switchgear to disconnect the fault. This is done by applying a d.c. voltage to switchgear's trip coil, which disengages the trip mechanism. Having said that, CTs are sometimes fitted around the bushings of circuit breakers to monitor the current flowing through the circuit breakers, so that the load currents can be measured.
Is there any alternative for fuse in house wiring system?
Yes, circuit breakers are a popular alternative to fuses in house wiring systems. Circuit breakers are reusable and can be reset after they trip, unlike fuses which need to be replaced. circuit breakers can help protect against overload and short circuits in the electrical system.
Why do circuit breakers trip and how can this be prevented?
Circuit breakers trip when there is an overload of electrical current flowing through the circuit, which can be caused by too many devices plugged in or a short circuit. This can be prevented by avoiding overloading circuits, using the correct size of circuit breaker for the electrical load, and regularly checking for any faulty wiring or appliances.
