Relay Protection Distance Measurement

A distance relay (or impedance relay) is a protection device used on power transmission lines that estimates the distance to a fault by measuring the apparent impedance between the relay location and the fault point. Unlike overcurrent relays, which only respond to the magnitude of current, a distance relay measures the impedance of. Please use this note only in combination with the related product manual which contains several important safety instructions.

Protection distance of primary distribution box

The horizontal distance between switchbox and fixed electrical equipment should not exceed 3m. Such protection relays are known as "distance protection relays" and only function in case of faults that occur between the location of the protection relay and the chosen reach point. The aim of this technical article is to cover the most important principles of four fundamental relay protections: overcurrent, directional overcurrent, distance and differential for transmission lines, power transformers and busbars. Distance relay R1 has to provide primary protection to line AB and back up protection to lines BC, BD and BE.

What are the relay protection design systems

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.

Relay protection lact1

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.
