Different types of relay devices are used in power system protection. These are [99] -
(i) Electromagnetic Devices
These are the earliest form o f relay devices used for power protection and until now they
are the most widely used variety o f relays. All these devices depend upon electronegative
interaction and have mechanical movement associated with them, which actually make and
or break pairs of contacts indicating relay operation. The electronegative interaction is
manifested either in form o f force o f attraction, repulsion or torque o f rotation which has
produced different classes o f electromagnetic relays.
(ii) Thermal Devices
Electro - thermal effect o f current is also utilized in relays to sense overloading. Thermal
relays are utilized mostly in motor protection, They are mostly slow acting and rugged.
There are two types o f these device -one is bimetallic and the other is unimetallic.
(iii) Mixing Transformers
Relays often require a composite voltage or current input which is derived from several
voltage and/or currents. The mixing device here has to satisfy two basic requirements.
Firstly it must derive proper proportions of component quantities and secondly it must
maintain electrical isolation between its inputs and output. Transformers with special design
are employed for this purpose. Normally they are air-gap transformers such that saturation
effect is greatly reduced and linearity between input and output is strictly maintained. These
transformers windings have a high value of mutual impedance .The input quantities may
An expert relay system based on fuzzy reasoning accounts for the values of fault current
c lo s e r to the singleton and sends commands to the protective mechanism to act in order to rectify
the fault even for the values around the crisp value of fault current, hence in this way, the
performance of conventional relay is enhanced by replacing it by a fuzzy relay or fuzzy sensor.
