    A protective relay is a compact and self-contained switchgear that trips a circuit breaker when a fault is detected for conditions such as overcurrent, overvoltage, over- and under-frequency, and reverse power flow. Protective Relays - Technical Seminar Nov 2016 - Copyright: IEEE 2 Abstract: Protective relays and devices have been developed over 100 years ago to provide “lastline”of defense for the electrical systems. They are intended to quickly identify a fault and isolate it so the balance of the system. The rectangular devices are test connection blocks, used for testing and isolation of instrument transformer circuits. Its main purpose is to safeguard electrical equipment like transformers, generators, and transmission lines from damage due to. A protection relay is a crucial component of electrical systems that safeguard infrastructure, employees, and equipment from electric problems and malfunctions. It functions as a watchdog by constantly surveying multiple system components including voltage, current, frequency, and phase angle.
