Relay coordination refers to setting protective devices so that the relay closest to the fault operates first, while upstream relays act as backups. Relay coordination is one of the most critical aspects of electrical power system protection. As electric power generation facilities grow in complexity, ensuring proper relay settings becomes increasingly challenging.

The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is currently working on a new series of standards that covers the functional requirements of measuring relays and related equipment used to protect electrical transmission and distribution systems. Applications of the concepts to accepted transmission line-protection schemes are also presented. Many important issues, such as coordination of settings, operating times, characteristics of. Transmission lines act like the arteries in the human circulatory system, moving electrical power from were it is produced by generators to where it is consumed at load centers. For example, unselective protection operation during a medium voltage network fault will cause an outage for an unnecessarily large number of consumers.

The objective of relay protection is to quickly isolate a faulty section from both ends so that the rest of the system can function satisfactorily.

A residual-current device of type B must be used for the protection of the AC circuit. An exception to this requirement applies if the inverter manufacturer approves the inverter for other RCD types. The perfect combination of RD3 and RCQ020 range with miniature circuit-breakers S200 family and Tmax moulded-case circuit- ensures residual current protection up to 12 0A. This document provides general minimum requirements, recommendations and information for the drafting of standards on residual current operated protective devices (hereinafter referred to as residual current devices, "RCDs").

The National Electrical Code® (NEC® ) has specific ground fault equipment protection requirements in 215. Ungrounded: There is no intentional ground applied to the system-however it's grounded through natural capacitance. This decreases the current at the fault and limits voltage across the arc at the fault to decrease. This publication gives you general guidelines for installing an Allen-Bradley industrial automation system that may include programmable controllers, industrial computers, operator-interface terminals, display devices, and communication networks.
