Distance Relays or Impedance Relays

Distance Relays or Impedance Relays: The operation of the relays discussed so far depended upon the magnitude of current or power in the protected circuit. However, there is another group…

Distance Protection by Reactance Relays

Distance Protection by Reactance Relays: Like impedance relays, Distance Protection by Reactance Relays are also amplitude comparators and thus require an additional directional unit. Although the performance of reactance relays…

Carrier Aided Distance Protection Scheme

Carrier Aided Distance Protection Scheme: The directional comparison carrier pilot relay schemes presently employed are built around standard three-zone step type distance relays. This speeds up fault clearance for internal…

Classification of Relays

Classification of Relays: The protective relay may be defined as an electrical device interposed between the main circuit and the circuit breaker in such a manner that any abnormality in…
