What are the benefits of using a relay?
Relays allow a low current circuit to control one or more higher current circuits. Relays provide these benefits; 1. Thinner cables can be used to connect the control switch to the relay thereby saving weight, space and cost. 2. Relays allow power to be routed to a device over the shortest distance, thereby reducing voltage loss.

What are the different types of power system relays?
This impedance or corresponding distance is called the reach of relay. Power system protection relays can be categorized into different types of relays. Types of protection relays are mainly based on their characteristic, logic, on actuating parameter and operation mechanism.
What kind of rating does a relay have?
Basic relays feature electrical ratings for both the coil and the internal switching contacts. The coil voltage rating is the voltage required for the coil to operate correctly. The switching circuit of the relay also features a voltage and ampere rating. This is the maximum rating of the switch contacts and should NOT be exceeded.

Where are the overcurrent relays located in a power system?
Overcurrent protection is provided at B, C, D and E, that is, at the infeed end of each section of the power system. Each protection unit comprises a definite-time delay overcurrent relay in which the operation of the current sensitive element simply initiates the time delay element.

What do you need to know about Induction relays?
Induction relays are basically induction motors. The moving element, or rotor, is usually a metal disk, although it sometimes may be a metal cylinder or cup. The stator is one or more electromagnets with current or potential coils that induce currents in the disk, causing it to rotate.
