It is the one type of coil in the electrical motor starters. It is used to release the switch, i.e. turns off the motor, when heavy load is connected to the motor. It is used for the protection purpose.
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.

Over Current (Inverse Time) Over current relay function monitors the general balanced overloading and has current/time settings. This is determined by the overall protective discrimination scheme. There advantage over definite time relays is that they can have much shorter tripping times can be obtained without any risk to the protection selection process. These are classified in accordance with there characteristic curves, this indicates the speed of the operation. Based on this they are defined as being inverse, very inverse or extremely inverse. The typical settings for these relays are 0.7-2In (normal or rated generator current) in 1-10 second. Inducing a calibrated test current through the normal load current tests this relay.
earth fault relay is also a type of over current relay but the set value of current or relay sensing current is much less than the maximum load current.in over current relay relay sensing current ise than maximum load current mor

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.

Normally the Over current relay is connected using a suitable CT (Current Transformer). Say the CT ratio is 100/5 Amps. (secondary is normally 5 or 1 amps). 100 Amps in the primary induces 5 amps in secondary which flows through over current relay circuit. Secondary current is proportional to the primary current. To test the OCR , inject the current into relay circuit ranging from 0 to 5 amps in steps (which represents upto full load current on primary). Relay will operate accordingly operate the trip contacts. These relays are normally with a time factor setting as well.
An over current relay will operate when current exceeds its design rating. This application is intended protect loads or circuits from excessive current.

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.
Time delay protective relays used in the power industry can be time over current or voltage, or definite time over / under voltage / over current.Definite time type relays use an over / under voltage / current element that picks up when voltage / current reach a specified level. When this picks up, a timer is started. If current / voltage stays above / below the pickup value for long enough to allow the timer to expire, the relay trip contacts are closed.Time over current elements use an inverse time - current curve to define speed of operation, so the more current is present, the faster the relay will operate.

Instantaneous over current relay, which operates very fast with no intentional time delay and the operating time of these relay can be as low as 0.01sec . These relay operates only when the impedance between the relay and the source zsis very small compared to the impedance to the impedance of the protected section zl .
