    Working principle of controllable optocouplers

    An optocoupler moves signals between two circuits using light instead of electricity. That way, the input and output stay electrically separate; there is no direct connection, just light doing the job. In this guide, you'll learn how they work and how you can use one in your own projects. It uses light to do the job, which helps keep things safe. What is an Optocoupler? Optocouplers are integrated electronic components. An optocoupler consists of a Transmitter as an IR LED and a Receiver as a photosensitive component. when light is emitted by an LED and that light hits the photosensor (Photodiode, Phototransistor, PhotoTriac) then the photosensor starts to flow the current.

    Principle of Anti-overcurrent relay protection

    Over current relaying and fuse protection uses the principle that when the current exceeds a predetermined value, it indicates presence of a fault (short circuit). This protection scheme finds usage in radial distribution systems with a single source. It is quite simple to implement. Protective relays and devices have been developed over 100 years ago to provide “lastline”of defense for the electrical systems. They are intended to quickly identify a fault and isolate it so the balance of the system continue to run under normal conditions. This should not be mixed with 'overload' relay protection, which. 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.
