Relay protection operation is selective

Home / Relay protection operation is selective

Relay coordination refers to setting protective devices so that the relay closest to the fault operates first, while upstream relays act as backups. For example, unselective protection operation during a medium voltage network fault will cause an outage for an unnecessarily large number of consumers. The protective philosophy is fundamentally grounded on the understanding that faults or abnormal operating. Relay coordination is one of the most critical aspects of electrical power system protection.
