The first protective relays were electromagnetic devices, relying on coils operating on moving parts to provide detection of abnormal operating conditions such as over-current,, reverse flow, over-frequency, and under-frequency.

Relay protection is the discipline of designing schemes that detect faults, coordinate relays, and isolate equipment without outages. 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 continue to run under normal conditions.

The insulation resistance test is completed in line with IEC 60255-27, i. The testing and verification of relay protection devices can be divided into four groups: Type tests are needed to prove that a protection relay meets the claimed specification and follows all relevant standards. Mechanical relays rely on an electromagnetic coil and movable contacts, whereas solid-state relays use semiconductor devices. Power System protection is crucial part of power station and substations safety which use protection relays and circuit breakers to isolate faulty parts or zones within the plant including Generator zone, Motor zone, Feeder zone, Bus zone, Transformer zone and Transmission Lines zone.

On average, mechanical relays typically last between 1 to 5 years due to their moving parts, which are prone to wear and tear. Typically, the electrical life expectancy of general-purpose and power relays is rated at a minimum of 100,000 operations. Network operators need to have a long term maintenance and replacement strategy for protection relays. 10 years from the start of the Classic stage, although exceptions to this may occur if components or technologies needed are no longer available to ABB.
