DCD-2 Differential Relay Protection Working Principle
This relay works on the basis of the quantitative difference that occurs in the outgoing and incoming current levels, surpassing a certain percentage of the total current. DCD-2A differential relay (hereinafter referred to as the relay) is used for primary protection in single-phase differential protection lines of two or three winding power transformers and ac generators. Principle of Operation: These relays activate based on discrepancies in electrical quantities. 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.

Requirements for installing lightning protection devices in distribution boxes
The UL Standard 96 addresses the minimum requirements for construction of air terminals, cable conductors, fittings, connectors, and fasteners used in quality lightning protection systems. A look at the basic components of lightning protection systems and what is required to support a reasonably safe and code-compliant installation. Surge protection devices are always installed where cables are fed into the control cabinet. An industry benchmark document for lightning safety for over a century, NFPA 780, Standard for the Installation of Lightning Protection Systems, provides a comprehensive.
