Relay protection against failure to operate
In electrical engineering, a protective relay is a relay device designed to trip a circuit breaker when a fault is detected. They are intended to quickly identify a fault and isolate it so the balance of the system continue to run under normal conditions. Protection is the branch of electric power engineering concerned with the principles of design and operation of equipment (called 'relays' or 'protective relays') that detects abnormal power system conditions, and initiates corrective action as quickly as possible in order to return the power.
