An overcurrent relay is a protective device that detects excessive current flow and triggers circuit breakers to prevent damage. Commonly used in power systems, it safeguards equipment from faults, ...

The objective of protective relays and protective schemes is to protect electrical equipment such as transformers, lines, cables, bus bars, etc. during abnormal system conditions. Hence, protective ...

An experienced protection and integration engineer can help determine the best configurable relay settings to provide maximum system protection and advanced functionality. Photo courtesy: Emerson ...

Most industrial facilities include electric motors that require overload relays for protection, control and monitoring purposes. The latest overload relays are often called motor management relays ...

Modern numerical relays have many new features that were not available in electromechanical or analog designs such as setting groups, programmable logic and adaptive schemes. Although these features ...

Abstract: Inadvertent open phase is a concern for distribution utilities due to the unregulated voltage on the opened phase, which can be caused by the distributed energy resources (DERs) and/or their ...

We’ve seen our share of blinking light projects around here; most are fairly straightforward small projects, but this entry to the 2025 One Hertz Challenge is the polar opposite of that approach.

Relays usually are driven using optocouplers, which offer isolation between analog and digital grounds to ensure that switching currents in the relay coils do not affect the noise margin of the ...
