Poor relay room design can introduce hidden risks that only appear during critical system disturbances. Environmental control and electromagnetic protection are often overlooked risk factors. Poor. Relay systems protect high-voltage equipment and transmission lines to ensure safe, stable systems. Although failure of a protective relay system may have severe local or regional impacts, most protective relay systems are not required to operate to prove they are in working order. Do not touch the terminal section (charged section) of the Relay or Socket while power is being supplied. Electric shock may.
