What is NOT a relay protection device
The various protective functions available on a given relay are denoted by standard. For example, a relay including function 51 would be a timed overcurrent protective relay. An overcurrent relay is a type of protective relay which operates when the load current exceeds a pickup value. It is of two types: instantaneous over current (IOC) relay and definite time overcurrent (DTOC) relay.

Starting principle of relay protection components
In electrical engineering, a protective relay is a relay device designed to trip a circuit breaker when a fault is detected. : 4 The first protective relays were electromagnetic devices, relying on coils operating on moving parts to provide detection of abnormal. As the protected components of the electrical systems have changed in size, configuration and their critical roles in the power system supply, some protection aspects need to be revisited (i. the use of protection systems to reduce arc flash energy in distribution systems). It covers the protection methods for generators, transformers, buses, and transmission lines using various relay types to detect and isolate faults efficiently. CT's transform line current down to a signal level that is. Protective relays using electrical quantities are connected to the power system through current transformer (CT) or voltage transformer (VT).
