This presentation reviews the established principles and the advanced aspects of the selection and application of protective relays in the overall protection system, multifunctional numerical devices application for power distribution and industrial systems, and addresses some. Protective relays and devices have been developed over 100 years ago to provide “last line” 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 document provides recommendations, background and philosophy on relay protection that is not available in M07. 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. Consideration is given to availability and location of breakers, current sensing devices, and disconnect switches, as well as bus-switching scenarios, and their impact on the selection and application of bus protection.
