RELAY


Relay is protective device which sense the fault & given information to circuit breaker  which isolates the system.

Plug setting multiplier(PSM): = Fault current reff to secondary side of CT/Pick up current.

So, Pickup current= relay setting X rated ROC current.

Example.- If=2000A, RELAY setting 50% & the CT ratio 400/5.

then PSM=?

PSM= (2000X5/400)/0.5X5=10.

If PSM>1 relay operate.

PSM<1 relay not operate.

PSM=1 relay at usage of operation.


DISTANCE RELAY:-

ELECTRICAL ENERGY WORLD,

Distance relay is used to protection of transmission lines universal torque eq T = ki2 + K2v2 + K3VI

IMPEDANCE RELAY:-

T=  K1i2(operating force) - K2v2(restraiming force)

It It is voltage restrained over-current relay
NON DIRECTIONAL RELAY
Used for medium transmission lines.

REACTANCE RELAY:-


T=K1i2 - K3VI

Directional restraint over current relay.
It is also non-directional relay.
Used for short transmission lines.
Protection against earth faults.

MHO RELAY:-

-Voltage resfrained direction relay.
-It is a directional relay.
-Used for long transmission lines.
R- short
I- medium
M- long transmission, directional.

GENERATOR PROTECTION Or ALTERNATOR PROTECTION :-


-To protect a) p-p and b) p-g faults[Merz price protection, % differential protection or biased diff., % bias - 5 to 10%.].

-Stator over heating -- thermal relays.

-For loss of excitation i.e If=0 => MHO relay is Med.

-Rotor earth fault => reactance relay.

-Rotor over heating => ('-ve') sequence relay.

-Prime mover failure.--

It Prime Mover fails -alternators act as a motor

i.e. Direction changes so direction relay or reverse power relay is used .
