What is relay protection engineering
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. Relay protection and automation (RPA) are critical systems in electrical networks. RPA automatically detect faults and emergency situations, then take action to disconnect the damaged section of the network to protect equipment and ensure stable and reliable power supply. In electrical engineering, a protective relay is a relay device designed to trip a circuit breaker when a fault is detected.
