Home / Father of Microprocessor-based Relay Protection
Schweitzer III invented the first microprocessor-based digital protective relay, revolutionizing the performance of electric power systems with computer-based protection and control equipment, and making a significant impact on the electric power utility industry. For more than a century, utility companies have used electromechanical relays to protect power systems against. The introduction of digital microprocessor-based relay technology in the 1980s marked a turning point in relay protection.
