Does relay protection include measuring instruments
This part of IEC 60255 specifies common rules and requirements applicable to measuring relays and protection equipment, including any combination of equipment to form a distributed protection scheme for power system protection such as control, monitoring and process. Measuring, protecting, controlling and maintaining electricity power networks in a smart grid world requires intelligent electronic devices (IED), such as smart energy meters, measuring relays, protection systems, control and automation devices. 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. The basic functions are to receive input signals, monitor and determine them, and output an alarm signal if a set.
