Relay protection consists of two parts
Where radio transmitters and receivers share one antenna, often a coaxial relay is used as a TR (transmit-receive) relay, which switches the antenna from the receiver to the transmitter. This protects the receiver from the high power of the transmitter. Such relays are often used in which combine transmitter and receiver in one unit. The relay contacts are designed not to reflect any radio frequency power back towar.

Current direction at relay protection fault point
Consider a fault occurs at a point P. Hence the fault current flows from the generator G through the breaker A and E. Also the fault current comes from the breaker series A . This White Paper describes the sense, the potentials and the use of directional protection and directional zone selectivity functions, hereafter called “D” and “SdZ D” respectively. This selective operation helps avoid unnecessary tripping of circuit breakers and ensures that only the faulty section is isolated. Directional relays are not just overcurrent devices with extra logic. They compare current from CTs with voltage from PTs to determine the fault direction. I care. This practice-oriented paper shows, in addition to the illustrative explanation of the basis of ground fault parameters in insulated and arc-suppression-coil-ground systems, the connection variants for determination of the ground fault direction in detail.

Relay protection sensitivity value
Relay protection calculations determine the threshold values and parameters for the protective relays based on the substation's operational and design requirements. These calculations are vital in establishing the sensitivity, selectivity, and reliability of the relay. One of the main requirements to relay protection is the sensitivity requirement, which implies consistent tripping during the short circuit (s c) events in the protected zone. Common calculations. Selectivity is a mandatory requirement for all protection, but the importance of it depends on the application.
