These relays operate on the principle of comparing the current entering and leaving a specific protection zone, such as a transformer winding, generator stator, or busbar section. 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. The article provides an overview of protective relaying principles and their applications for high-voltage power system components.
