  • What does u mean in relay protection

    What does u mean in relay protection

    Instantaneous overcurrent protection is where a protective relay initiates a breaker trip based on current exceeding a pre-programmed “pickup” value for any length of time. Engineering use: Relays are used on feeders, transformers, buses, motors, generators, and transmission lines to protect equipment and improve system. The protection and control devices in electrical equipment can be referred to by numbers, with appropriate suffix letters when necessary, according to the functions they perform. These numbers are based on a system that is adopted by a standard for automatic switchgear by Institute of Electrical. Overcurrent protection prevents damage from the overheating of critical components and conductors, further preventing fires and injury.
