Protection Relays
Relay
►A relay is a device that “detects” the
fault and “directs” the circuit breaker
to isolate the faulty part/equipment
from the system.
► Relay Panel
Function of Relay
A relay performs three functions.
► Sensing.
► Comparing.
► Tripping.
Sensing
► Itsenses the “fault”. This is done by
the relay to “respond” to the change if
any, in the currents passing through it.
Comparing
► It compares the current through it with
the designed value of current. It
responds only if the current through it
is different from its designed current
rating.
Tripping
► If the current through it is different
from its designed current rating, it
sends information to the circuit
breaker for tripping.
Qualities of a Good Relay
In order to perform its function successfully,
a relay should have the following qualities.
► Selectivity.
► Speed.
► Sensitivity
► Reliability
► Simplicity.
► Economical.
Relays Application
► Ground fault
► Phase fault
► Bus protection
► Transformer protection
► Generator & motor protection
► Auxiliary
Bucholz Relay
► Gas operated relay
► Used only in oil
immersed
transformer
► Use to protect the
internal faults of T/F
Advantages of Bucholz
relay
It is the simplest form of protection that can
protect a transformer from all faults.
It gives advance warning for any future
fault.
► Tap Changer
► Phases Voltage Level
► Oil Temperature
Tap Changer
► Itis used to low or high the secondary
voltage of A/T. It has different pins
usually 27 pins. The voltage depends
on the pin at which tap changer is set.
► In normal condition tap is set at
between 10 to 14 .
Phases Voltage Level
► There are three phases indicated by
Red, Yellow and Blue cables.
► Each phase has it’s own current,
voltage and temperature.
Oil Temperature
► We can monitor the temperature of
oil.
► Fans are used to cool down the oil in
order to decrease
the temperature.
Rectifier’s & Battery Room
► Relays operate on D.C
► We need rechargeable batteries for the
D.C
► To recharge batteries we need to convert
A.C to D.C so we use Rectifier to do so
► All batteries are connected in parallel &
each is of 2 V.

DISADVANTAGES:
► Bus bars cannot be cleaned or repaired
without switching off the whole system
► If a fault occurs at bus bars, the whole
of the arrangement has to be switched
off.
