What is Protective Relaying? Protective Relaying is one of several features of the power system design that is concerned with minimizing damage to equipment and interruptions to service when electrical failures occur. u Primary Function: Cause the prompt removal of any element of a power system when it starts to operate in any abnormal manner u Secondary Function: Provide indication of the location and type of failure
15
Types of Protective Relays Electromechanical Solid State Digital (Microprocessor)
16
Protective Relay Requirements Measure Power System Voltage, Current, and Breaker Position Detect Power System Fault –Short circuit via overcurrrent, current differential, impedance, undervoltage, etc. Trip Breaker –Isolate fault portion of the power system Communicate with Computer Systems Communicate with Humans
17
Protective Relay Requirements Dependable –Always operates for power system faults in the zone of protection Secure –Does not operate during normal power system conditions or for faults outside the zone of protection Fast –Detects and clears faults in milliseconds Accurate –<< 5% error over a wide range of fault conditions
