I. INTRODUCTION
Relays and circuit breakers are the protective devices
installed in the power system for its protection. The relay is
installed to detect the fault condition. When working the relay
compares the input values of current and voltages to the
reference values. When the input value is greater than the
reference value it means the fault has occurred, on detecting the
fault condition the relays send a trip command to the circuit
breaker. When the circuit breaker receives this command, it
trips the circuit thereby protecting the power system from
getting damaged. The working of the both the system has been
explained in details in the subsequent sections.
II. RELAYS
A relay is automatic device which senses an abnormal
condition of electrical circuit and closes its contacts. These
contacts in turns close and complete the circuit breaker trip coil
circuit hence make the circuit breaker tripped for disconnecting
the faulty portion of the electrical circuit from rest of the
healthy circuit. The electrical quantities which may change
under fault conditions are voltage, current, frequency and phase
angle. Through the change in one or more quantities the fault
signals its location type and presence to the relay. After
detecting the fault the relay operates and trips the circuit
breaker to protect the system.
ACKNOWLEDGMENT
I would like to thank Mr. Mukul Chankaya (Asst. Prof,
Lovely Professional University) for providing me an
opportunity to write a paper also for her constant support and
guidance.
I express my gratitude towards the faculty staff of the
university who helped me in bringing this paper to its present
form. The valuable guidance and interest taken by them has
been a motivator and source of inspiration for me to carry out
the necessary proceedings for the paper to be completed
successfully.
I also wish to my friends and family for their constant
support and encouragement during the preparation of the paper.
