A protective relay is an intelligent electrical device designed to detect faults in power systems and initiate corrective actions such as tripping a circuit breaker. Its main purpose is to safeguard electrical equipment like transformers, generators, and transmission lines from damage due to. Selectivity is a mandatory requirement for all protection, but the importance of it depends on the application. For example, unselective protection operation during a medium voltage network fault will cause an outage for an unnecessarily large number of consumers. It initiates the operation of circuit breakers to isolate the affected section. Currently residing in Denver, Colorado.
