How often should protection relays be maintained? The maintenance frequency depends on the manufacturer's recommendations, the relay's environment, and its operational history. Protection relay is the first line of defense against electrical faults. When a relay malfunctions or fails, the costs can be severe: equipment damage, safety threats, and even prolonged power outages. Regular testing ensures that relays trip exactly when required to and remain stable under normal. Combines protection, sensors, control power, and circuit breaker in a single package Typically added to a breaker close circuit to prevent accidental reclosure after a trip.
